CITE TITLE AS: Matter of Fratello v Kruger

In a proceeding, inter alia, to validate petitions designating the petitioner as acandidate in the Democratic Party primary election to be held on September 12,

1978, for the party office of State Committeeman (Female) from the 39th AssemblyDistrict, the appeal is from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, datedAugust 18, 1978, which,inter alia, (1) denied the petition for lack of jurisdiction and(2) directed the Board of Elections to remove the petitioner's name from theappropriate ballot.

Judgment affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The order to show cause and supporting papers which commenced the instantproceeding provided, inter alia, for service upon each of the respondent-objectorsby (1) affixing the order to show cause and supporting papers to the outer door of

the residence of each of the objectors and (2) mailing the said papers to theobjectors, both to be done on or before August 10, 1978. Petitioner mailed thepapers to each objector on August 10, 1978. However, instead of affixing therelevant papers to the outer door of each of the objector's residence, as required bythe terms of the order to show cause, petitioner had the papers placed in the mailbox. The mode of service provided for in the order to show cause was jurisdictionalin nature, and must be complied with (see former Election Law, 335).Accordingly, the judgment denying the petition for lack of jurisdiction must beaffirmed (seeMatter of Bruno v Ackerson, 51 AD2d 1051,affd39 NY2d 718).
