Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Niagara County, Koshian, J. — Election Law.
PRESENT: PINE, J. P., HAYES, HURLBUTT, SCUDDER AND KEHOE, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
Petitioners appeal from an order denying , inter alia, their petition to invalidate the designating petition of respondent Francine DelMonte as a Democratic Party candidate for the New York State Assembly, 138th District. We reject petitioners ' contention that DelMonte's designating petition failed to identify and adequately describe the office for which DelMonte is running. Here, DelMonte's description of the office "is `sufficiently informative * * * so as to preclude any reasonable probability of confusing or deceiving the signer, voters or board of elections'" ( Matter of Liepshutz v. Palmateer, 112 A.D.2d 1101, 1101-1102, affd 65 N.Y.2d 965, quoting Matter of Donnelly v. McNab, 83 A.D.2d 896, lv denied 54 N.Y.2d 603; see also, Matter of Ciccotti v. Havel, 186 A.D.2d 979, lv denied 80 N.Y.2d 754).
