          FISH AND GAME LICENSE-REVOCATION HEARING POSTPONED

CONCORD, N.H. -- At a pre-hearing conference held today, March 15, 
2005, the decision was made to postpone the license-revocation hearing of 
Steven R. Laro originally scheduled for March 16, 2005, at the request 
of Laro's attorney.

The hearing, time and place to be determined, will be held before the 
Fish and Game Commission and Executive Director in accordance with Title 
XVIII, RSA 214:18. This statute allows for a person's hunting license 
to be suspended or revoked following a hearing.

Laro shot and killed his hunting companion, Robert H. Proulx, in a 
January, 2004 hunting incident. In December of 2004, a jury acquitted Laro 
of negligent homicide and of felonious use of a firearm. 

Fish and Game Commission Chairman Ted Tichy said that the hearing will 
likely take place in April. Laro has agreed to forfeit his hunting 
privilege until the matter is resolved. No further information is available 
at this time.
