In plaintiff's petition for writ of administrative mandamus challenging a denial of his application for an unqualified real estate salesperson license by the Commissioner of the California Department of Real Estate (DRE), judgment in favor of the Commissioner is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff's conviction for domestic violence is a crime involving moral turpitude; 2) the conviction was substantially related to the qualifications, functions, and duties of a real estate salesperson license; and 3) substantial evidence supports the Commissioner's finding that plaintiff was only partially rehabilitated.
