Matter of Sgambati v. New York City Board

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 15, 1996
224 A.D.2d 564 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

February 15, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Garry, J.).


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

The appellant claims standing to bring this proceeding on the ground that he is a "person who [has] filed objections" to the petitions pursuant to Election Law § 16-102 (1). However, the court properly determined that the specifications of objections to the petitions did not include the addresses of the candidates being objected to, as required by the rules of the Board of Elections (see, Election Law § 6-154; Matter of Fintz v Poveromo, 197 A.D.2d 944; Matter of Bennett v. Justin, 77 A.D.2d 960, affd 51 N.Y.2d 722). Accordingly, the appellant lacked standing to bring this proceeding (see, Matter of Bennett v Justin, supra).

In light of our determination, we need not reach the parties' remaining contentions. Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Santucci, Hart and Krausman, JJ., concur.
