Plaintiffs asserted that procedures followed in the creation of redistricting maps violated Municipal Home Rule Law (MHRL), the county charter, and the New York State Constitution; the redistricting maps were substantively unconstitutional; and seeking declaratory judgment that the redistricting maps are invalid.

Defendants sought dismissal of plaintiff's cause of action that the redistricting procedures violated the MHRL, county charter, and state constitution, arguing it was untimely since it sounded in the nature of an Article 78 special proceeding that requires commencement within four months of the final municipal determination.
