"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from Marino v. Town of Ramapo, 326 N.Y.S.2d 162, 68 Misc.2d 44 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1971):

"Equal protection does not require that all persons be dealt with identically, but it does require that a distinction made have some relevance to the purpose for which the classification is made.' (Citing case.) Nor is the Constitution offended if the classification has some reasonable or rational basis. (Citing cases.) Furthermore, '(a) statutory discrimination will not be set aside if any state of facts reasonably may be conceived to justify it.' (Citing case)' (People v. Ditniak, 28 N.Y.2d 74, 78, 320 N.Y.S.2d 25, 27, 268 N.E.2d 768, 769).
