Description
In January 2004, the Cortland County Legislature held its biennial organizational meeting as mandated by the Legislatures Rules of Order (see, Verified Petition/Complaint, Exhibit 1 [hereinafter Rules]). The previous month, those legislators who were members of the Republican party (which, at all relevant times, held the greatest number of seats in the Legislature) had met and voted to appoint petitioner Lawrence Cornell to serve as "majority leader" of that body (Affidavit of Scott E. Steve, dated February 7, 2004, 4), and a certificate indicating that choice was evidently filed with the Clerk of the Legislature at some time thereafter (id., 2). It appears that in the past, such appointments have generally been made for a two-year period. However, in December 2004, the Republican members met and voted to remove petitioner from his position as majority leader, and replace him with another individual. Petitioner now asks the court to annul that designation of his successor, so that he may reassume the position of majority leader for the remainder of this year, contending that such a mid-term replacement is not sanctioned or permitted by the Legislatures governing Rules.
