MATTER OF SWARTS v. MAHONEY

Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Special Term properly concluded that petitioner had no standing as an aggrieved candidate. The challenge herein was based upon alleged infirmities relating to the internal affairs of a political party, rather than a failure to comply with the legislative mandates of the Election Law (see, Matter of Liepshutz v Palmateer, 112 A.D.2d 1098, affd 65 N.Y.2d 963). We have considered the other issue raised and find it to be without merit.
