MATTER OF CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK v. New York State Bd. of Elections
88 N.Y.2d 998; 671 N.E.2d 1265; 648 N.Y.S.2d 868; 1996 N.Y. LEXIS 2767
MATTER OF CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK v. New York State Bd. of Elections
Opinion
Motion for leave to appeal denied. Motion for a stay dismissed as academic. In this CPLR article 78 proceeding to prohibit the New York State Board of Elections from conducting a primary election, the Court of Appeals takes the opportunity to restate the rule that denial of a motion for leave to appeal is not equivalent to an affirmance and has no precedential value (see, e.g., Matter of Marchant v Mead-Morrison Mfg. Co., 252 NY 284, 297-298 [Cardozo, Ch. J.]; Two Assocs. v Brown, 70 NY2d 792).
