Opinion
April 6, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Martin, J.).
Ordered that the cross appeal is dismissed as abandoned; and it is further,
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed; and it is further,
Ordered that the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs are awarded one bill of costs.
The appellant's description of the proposed village was not sufficient to permit it to be identified with "common certainty" (Village Law § 2-202 [c] [1]). Moreover, the petition was legally insufficient in that it was not accompanied by a complete list of the regular inhabitants of the territory in accordance with the clear statutory mandate (see, Village Law § 2-202 [c] [2]). Brown, J.P., Niehoff, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
