In a proceeding pursuant to Election Law § 16-102 to invalidate petitions designating Martin I. Efman as a candidate in a primary election to be held on September 10, 2002, for the nomination of the Democratic Party as its candidate for the public office of District Court Judge, 3rd District, Town of Huntington, and as a candidate for the party position of member of the Democratic County Committee, 78th Election District, Town of Huntington, Martin I. Efman appeals from a final order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Phelan, J.), dated August 19, 2002, which granted the petition and invalidated the designating petitions.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, SONDRA MILLER, HOWARD MILLER, SANDRA L. TOWNES, JJ.
ORDERED that the final order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court properly invalidated the designating petitions (see Matter of Burns v. Wiltse, 303 N.Y. 319; Matter of Lawrence v. Spelman, 264 A.D.2d 455).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
RITTER, J.P., SMITH, S. MILLER, H. MILLER and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
