A man who was unaware of court documents his ex-wife submitted to have his pistol license revoked will get a new hearing on the matter, a Brooklyn appeals court has ruled.

The Appellate Division, Second Department, unanimously concluded in McAvoy v. Klein, 2012-04744, that Jeffrey McAvoy, “was not given notice of the charges and evidence against him” when Orange County Family Court Judge Carol Klein, in her capacity as a pistol licensing officer, revoked his license.
