Matter of Musselwhite v. Nassau County Board

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 10, 1992
181 A.D.2d 753 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

March 10, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Levitt, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Nassau County Board of Elections invalidated the appellants' nominating petition on the ground that its cover sheet was defective (see, Election Law § 6-138; § 6-134 [2]). The Supreme Court, Nassau County, also determined the cover sheet to be defective, and, accordingly dismissed the instant proceeding to validate the nominating petition and have the HARP candidates placed on the ballot. This appeal ensued.

Upon review of the nominating petition, we too find that the cover sheet does not comport with the requirements of Election Law § 6-134 (2), the provisions of which have been determined to be applicable to a village election by operation of Election Law § 15-100 (see, Matter of Campion v Board of Elections, 148 A.D.2d 562).

We have examined the appellants' remaining contention and find that it does not warrant a contrary result. Sullivan, J.P., Lawrence, Ritter and Santucci, JJ., concur.
