Matter of Brewster v. Cayuga County

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Sep 11, 1981
83 A.D.2d 983 (N.Y. App. Div. 1981)

Opinion

September 11, 1981

Appeal from the Monroe Supreme Court, Kennedy, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Cardamone, Callahan, Denman and Schnepp, JJ. (Decided Aug. 26, 1981.)


Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from an order of Special Term dismissing his petition to invalidate the designating petition of respondent candidate, on the ground that the candidate's place of residence was insufficiently identified on the petition. Respondent candidate's address was sufficient to identify the candidate to signers. No possibility of deception, confusion or fraud has been raised. We find that the requirements of subdivision 1 of section 6-132 Elec. of the Election Law have been met (see Matter of Ferris v Sadowski, 45 N.Y.2d 815, 817). Similarly, under these circumstances we also find that where, as here, the petition when read as a whole clearly indicates that the political subdivision involved was the Town of Conquest, that petition is valid (Matter of Cook v. Zelazny, 49 A.D.2d 1036).
