Honig v. Board of Supervisors of Rensselaer County

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Apr 16, 1969
24 N.Y.2d 861 (N.Y. 1969)

Opinion

Argued April 7, 1969

Decided April 16, 1969

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department, T. PAUL KANE, J.

Marvin I. Honig for plaintiff-respondent.

Thomas V. Kenney, Philip J. Landry, Jr., and Edward M. Murray for intervenor-appellant.

Louis J. Lefkowitz, Attorney-General ( Robert W. Imrie and William A. Carero of counsel), for State of New York, respondent. James T. Ronan, County Attorney, for Board of Supervisors of Rensselaer County, respondent.


Order affirmed, without costs, on the opinion at the Appellate Division. We but repeat that court's admonition that the County Board of Supervisors to be chosen at the coming (1969) election proceed as promptly as circumstances permit to promulgate a plan of reapportionment (for use in future elections) meeting constitutional standards ( Wells v. Rockefeller, 394 U.S. 542, 547).

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, BREITEL and JASEN. Taking no part: Judge KEATING.
