Opinion

Order declaring invalid the nominating petition of Paul Siegal, as nominee for the office of Assemblyman, fourth Assembly district, county of Queens, under the Fusion party emblem, and restraining the board of elections from printing his name for use on the voting machines or in any way giving effect to his petition affirmed, without costs. The court is of the opinion that subdivision 1 of section 330 of the Election Law is not applicable to cases of contested nominations; it is applicable merely to primary designations.
