Opinion
September 30, 1970
In a proceeding to validate petitions designating petitioner as the candidate of the Conservation Party in the general election to be held on November 3, 1970 for the public office of District Court Judge, Second District, Nassau County, the appeal is from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, entered September 23, 1970, which dismissed the petition in the proceeding. Judgment affirmed, without costs. (See Matter of Montano v. Meisser, 35 A.D.2d 678.) The constitutional validity of the statutory difference in the number of signatures required on independent and on party designating petitions has been reaffirmed recently by the Court of Appeals ( Matter of Moskowitz v. Power, 25 N.Y.2d 933). Christ, P.J., Hopkins, Martuscello, Brennan and Benjamin, JJ., concur.
