Opinion
October 16, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Tanenbaum, J.).
Judgment affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The designating petition in issue was invalidated as a result of Special Term's finding that six sheets of signatures witnessed by the same individual contained numerous obvious forgeries. In granting petitioners' application to strike those pages in their entirety, Special Term found clear and convincing proof of fraud (see, Matter of Thomas v Simon, 89 A.D.2d 952, affd 57 N.Y.2d 744). We find sufficient support in the record for Special Term's resolution of that factual question and we therefore affirm (see, Matter of Pilat v Sachs, 42 N.Y.2d 984).
We have considered appellant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Mangano, J.P., Bracken, O'Connor and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
