MATTER OF FUENTES v. LOPEZ

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The petitioner served as the attesting officer for the voters who signed the designating petition in question. He concedes that he inadvertently failed to indicate on the designating petition any information which would identify him as a commissioner of deeds qualified to administer an oath. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly, held that in the absence of such information the designating petition failed to comply with the requirements of Election Law § 6-132 Elec. (3) and was fatally defective ( see, Matter of Hutson v. Bass, 54 N.Y.2d 772, 774; Matter of Ryan v. Board of Elections, 53 N.Y.2d 515; Matter of Burgess v. D'Apice, 112 A.D.2d 1058).

Mangano, P. J., Santucci, Sullivan, Altman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
