Description
[42 N.Y.2d 1100 Page 1100] Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, entered October 13, 1977, which (1) reversed, on the law, a judgment of the Supreme Court at Special Term (Charles R. Thom, J.), entered in Suffolk County, dismissing, on the merits, a petition by Eli Wager to invalidate Conservative Party nominations of candidates for the public office of Justice of the Supreme Court, Tenth Judicial District, in the general election to be held November 8, 1977, and dismissing, as academic, a petition by two of those nominees to validate their nominations, (2) granted the petition to invalidate, and (3) dismissed the petition to validate on the merits. The Appellate Division held, inter alia, that section 132 (subd 2) of the Election Law provided that a judicial district convention was to be constituted by the election of delegates at the preceding primary, but no designating petitions had been filed with the Suffolk County Board of Elections for Conservative Party delegates to the convention at which the subject nominations were made, and, therefore, no delegates from Suffolk County could be duly elected during the September 8, 1977 primary; that, accordingly, 18 Suffolk County delegates who participated in that convention were not validly authorized to act as such; that the convention consisted only of 41 duly elected delegates from Nassau County, and this was insufficient to constitute a quorum, which required a majority of the maximum number of delegates, certified by the State Board of Elections to be 84, and that, without a quorum, the action of the convention was not effective.
