FAILURE TO FILE A COVER SHEET ACCOMPANYING A DESIGNATING PETITION IS A FATAL DEFECT (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals reversing these two election matters, determined the failure to timely file a cover sheet accompanying a designating petition is a fatal defect:

For the reasons stated in Matter of Seawright v Board of Elections in the City of New York (____ NY3d ____ [decided herewith]), the failure to timely file a cover sheet accompanying a designating petition constitutes a fatal defect.

For each case: Order reversed, without costs, and petition to validate the designating petitions denied, in a memorandum. Chief Judge DiFiore and Judges Stein, Fahey, Garcia and Feinman concur. Judge Wilson dissents for reasons stated in his dissenting opinion in Matter of Seawright v Board of Elections in the City of New York and Matter of Hawatmeh v New York State Board of Elections (decided today). Matter of Mejia v Board of Elections in the City of New York, 2020 NY Slip Op 02995, CtApp 5-21-20
