In Nagle v. Di Paola, 134 Mic.2d 753 (Dist. Ct. Nassau Co. 1987), the petitioner, who was the pre-marital owner of the home, sought to evict his wife's two minor children from a previous marriage on the ground that they were licensees The court ruled that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction because the respondent-stepchildren did not derive their right to occupy the premises from a license but rather from the marital relationship of the husband and wife.
