Matter of Amalfitano v. Sadowski, Guadagnino

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Aug 28, 1980
410 N.E.2d 1231 (N.Y. 1980)

Opinion

Argued August 27, 1980

Decided August 28, 1980

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, JOSEPH SLAVIN, J.

Robert D. Clark for appellant.

Harry R. Pollak for petitioners-respondents.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, without costs.

Since the cover sheet of the nominating petition correctly specified the number of signatures collected for Assembly District Leader and Associate District Leader, the petition should not be invalidated as to those candidates (see Election Law, § 6-134, subd 2). The irregularities in the cover sheet, if any, with respect to candidates who were joined in the combined designating petition for other offices are not determinative with respect to the offices in question in this proceeding.

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

Order affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum.
