Opinion
Argued August 26, 1985
Decided August 28, 1985
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, Arthur E. Blyn, J.
Nicholas Miglino for appellant.
Paul E. Kerson for William Perkins, respondent.
Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr., Corporation Counsel ( Michael C. Harwood and Susan R. Rosenberg of counsel), for Board of Elections of City of New York, respondent.
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, without costs.
Even if we were to strike the first volume of the candidate's designating petition because of superfluous pages ( see, Matter of Jonas v Black, 63 N.Y.2d 685, affg 104 A.D.2d 466), the other three volumes of his petition contain more than ample valid signatures to entitle him to a position on the primary election ballot. The remaining defects in the petition cited by appellant, slight overstatements of total signatures on the cover sheets, are inconsequential ( see, Matter of Staber v Fidler, 65 N.Y.2d 529).
Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges JASEN, MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER and TITONE concur.
Order affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum.
