Christian G. Sampson, as Town Clerk of Ramapo, and the Town of Ramapo appealed a June 18, 2013 order from the Supreme Court of Rockland County, which denied their motions to vacate two prior court orders from March 7, 2003. These earlier orders had vacated two dismissals from November 19, 2012, that dismissed petitions regarding referenda to increase the Town Council's membership from four to six and to establish a ward system for elections. The court affirmed the June 18, 2013 order, awarding costs to the petitioners-respondents. The appellants' argument was found to be without merit, as elaborated in a related case. Judges Eng, Miller, Hinds-Radix, and Maltese concurred with the decision.
