Opinion
August 20, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Edelstein, J.).
Judgment affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The appellant, who is not an enrolled member of the Republican Party, lacks standing to challenge the petition of the respondent Republican candidate based upon an alleged failure to follow party rules (see, Scoville v Cicoria, 65 N.Y.2d 972, 974; Matter of Wydler v Cristenfeld, 35 N.Y.2d 719). In any event, we agree with the Supreme Court, Rockland County, that there is no substantive merit to the proceeding. Brown, J.P., Weinstein, Lawrence and Kooper, JJ., concur.
