Downing v. Hernandez

Opinion of the Court

In a proceeding, inter alia, to invalidate petitions designating Louis Hernandez as a candidate in the Democratic Party prinary election to be held on September 9, 1980 for the public office of Representative to the United States Congress from the 12th Congressional District, the appeal is from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated August 20, 1980, which, inter alia, granted the application. Matter remanded to Special Term to make specific findings of fact with respect to its invalidation of appellant’s designating petitions, and appeal held in abeyance in the interim. Such findings of fact are to be made with all convenient speed. We cannot discern from the record on appeal the reasons for Special Term’s invalidation of appellant’s designating petitions. Consequently, we are unable to determine the correctness of that decision. Mollen, P. J., Damiani, Mangano, Gulotta and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
