The opinion
Opinion by
Senior Judge Kalish,
Raphael S. and Richard J. Tancredi, t/a Tancredi Apothecary, have petitioned this court for review of an order of the State Board of Pharmacy .(Board), which suspended their pharmacist licenses for- one year.' We affirm. '
The Board cited the petitioners with numerous violations 1 of. regulations under the . Pharmacy Act. 2 *389 This case originally came to this court after a Board order revoked the petitioners’ licenses. 3 After argument, this court remanded the case to the Board simply to review its penalty of revocation in light of this court’s'conclusion that the pharmacists’ conduct was not “grossly, unprofessional conduct” as that term is defined under the Pharmacy Act. 4 The Board took testimony relating to the reputation of the petitioners and that they were active in community affairs. The Board reduced the penalty from complete revocation to suspension for one year.
The petitioners contend that even though they admit to the violations, they were de minimis and that the penalty was too severe.
The issue before the Board on the remand was not the sufficiency of the evidence, which had previously been considered by this court and found to be substantial, but whether under the circumstances, it was an abuse of discretion to impose the penalty of revocation. On remand, the Board considered the mitigating circumstances and lowered the sanction. This sanction is amply supported by the evidence and was not an abuse of discretion.
