Matter of Mandel

In Matter of Mandel (184 Misc 2d 897 [Nassau County Ct 2000]), the court held that SORA vests the authority to determine if registration is required solely with the Board, and that the court has no power to review that determination. The court in Mandel did not cite any cases in support of its position, but rather relied only on the few words in the statute concerning the Board's role in deciding this issue.
