Opinion
March 5, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Hall, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Under the circumstances of this case, the Village Clerk of the Incorporated Village of Patchogue was authorized to determine the sufficiency of the notice of caucus (see, Election Law §§ 3-504, 15-108; § 15-124). Furthermore, she correctly determined that the notice was insufficient (see, Matter of Sarich v. Pontieri, 225 A.D.2d 627), and properly rejected the certificates of nomination for the appellants filed by the Democratic Party Caucus of the Incorporated Village of Patchogue.
In light of our determination, we do not reach the appellants' remaining contentions.
O'Brien, J. P., Altman, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
