Matter of Uciechowski v. Hill

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jun 2, 1994
205 A.D.2d 825 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

June 2, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Sullivan County (Torraca, J.).


Petitioners sought to have the designating petition of Joseph Wasser as the Democratic Party candidate for Sheriff of Sullivan County declared invalid. Supreme Court dismissed the petition. Subsequently, both the primary and general elections for Sheriff of Sullivan County have taken place. This Court has no jurisdiction in the instant summary proceeding under the Election Law to order a new election or to remove the successful candidate from office. The appeal should therefore be dismissed as moot.

Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, Crew III, Yesawich Jr. and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
