Opinion
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, without costs.
The Appellate Division found that 21 volumes were submitted by respondent. They were numbered sequentially beginning with “1” and ending with “21”. Although there were no volumes numbered “5”, “12” or “14”, two volumes were each labeled “10” and two separately submitted volumes were labeled “1”. As found below, when these volumes are substituted for volumes “5”, “12” and “14”, there are 21 volumes as indicated on the cover sheet. Moreover, since 5,000 signatures are required and respondent’s petition contained over 18,000 signatures, elimination of these volumes, which contained only some 5,000 signatures, still would leave more than 13,000 valid signatures.
Accordingly, respondent’s petition was properly validated.
Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Jasen, Meyer, Simons, Kaye, Alexander and Titone concur.
Order affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum.
