Matter of Purcell v. Canary

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Aug 19, 1987
133 A.D.2d 200 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

August 19, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Geiler, J.).


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

The petitioner challenges the subject authorizations issued under Election Law § 6-120 ("Wilson-Pakula" authorizations) on the ground that the Suffolk County Conservative Party Executive Committee lacked the power to authorize the designation of candidates who are not party members to run on the party line in a town election.

Under the circumstances of this case, we agree with the court's determination dismissing the petition for failure to join a necessary party (see, CPLR 1001 [a]; cf., Matter of Sahler v Callahan, 92 A.D.2d 976, 977). Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Thompson, Lawrence and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
