Petitioner appeals from an order of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board of the District of Columbia issued on July 26, 1973 revoking its Retailer’s Class “C” alcoholic beverage license. We affirm the Board’s order.
Petitioner was charged with fifteen violations of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. At the outset of the hearing counts five through fifteen were dismissed upon motion of the government,1 leaving four charges to be considered at the hearing.
Petitioner admitted to the four remaining charges which variously alleged unlawful receipt and possession of unstamped distilled spirits, concealment of goods on the restaurant premises with intent to defeat the collection of taxes (both felonies),2 failing to superintend the business, and permitting to be kept on the premises an unregistered .22 caliber rifle.
Petitioner contends the revocation of its license was arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion. It argues that in imposing this sanction the Board treated it differently than others in similar situations and, in so doing, ignored its own precedents and procedures and failed to justify the different treatment accorded petitioner.
*499It is not apparent on this record that the Board had been more lenient in its sanctions in cases involving the same combination of violations. Even if other cases were to be considered similar:
The employment of a sanction within the authority of an administrative agency is . . . not rendered invalid in a particular case because it is more severe than sanctions imposed in other cases. Butz v. Glover Livestock Comm’n Co., 411 U.S. 182, 187, 93 S.Ct. 1455, 1459, 36 L.Ed.2d 142 (1973).
In rejecting a similar contention the Supreme Court said:
[W]e cannot say that the [administrative agency] is bound by anything that appears before us to deal with all cases at all times as it has dealt with some that seem comparable. Federal Communications Commission v. WOKO, Inc., 329 U.S. 223, 228, 67 S.Ct. 213, 216, 91 L.Ed. 204 (1946).
In 2447 Good Hope Rd., Inc. v. District of Columbia A. B. C. Bd., D.C.App., 295 A.2d 513 (1972), there was a similar contention made and in considering a license revocation for failing to superintend, allowing consumption at a prohibited time and failing to frame its license under glass this court, noting that failure to superintend is listed in the statute 3 as a basis for revocation, affirmed on the basis that the Board’s ultimate conclusion was within the scope of its statutory discretion. Id. at 516. 4
We conclude there was no abuse of discretion in revoking the license.5
Affirmed.
