Description
[40 N.Y.2d 397 Page 400] Petitioners, Republican members of the New York State Senate and Assembly, commenced this article 78 proceeding to set aside the Legislature's election of three Regents of the University of the State of New York. The Supreme Court granted the relief requested, annulling the determination of the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the Assembly that Jorge L. Batista, Mary Alice Kendall and Louis E. Yavner were duly elected Regents of the University of the State of New York, annulling the certificates of election executed in conjunction with that determination, and enjoining the three from acting as Regents. Upon appeal, the Appellate Division, after converting the article 78 proceeding into an action for a declaratory judgment, modified the judgment, on the law. It reversed that portion of the judgment annulling the determination and the certificates and enjoining and prohibiting the three from acting as Regents; it dismissed so much of the petition as requested relief against the three Regents and Theodore Black, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents; and it declared that a quorum of the joint session had been present on March 11, 1975, but that the joint session had not been duly convened and was therefore invalid. Cross appeals from that order have been taken by the Lieutenant Govenor and the Speaker of the Assembly, by the three challenged Regents, and by the original petitioners. For the reasons which follow, we would reverse that order and dismiss the petition.
