DECISION & ORDER

In a proceeding, inter alia, for a judgment declaring that so much of Executive Order (Cuomo) No. 202.23 (9 NYCRR 8.202.23) as canceled the June 23, 2020, special election for the office of Queens Borough President is invalid, the petitioners appeal from an order and judgment (one paper) of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Robert I. Caloras, J.), entered May 18, 2020. The order and judgment denied the amended petition and dismissed the proceeding.

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the proceeding is converted into an action for a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief, the order to show cause is deemed to be the summons, the amended petition is deemed to be the complaint and a motion for summary judgment on the complaint and declaring that so much of Executive Order (Cuomo) No. 202.23 (9 NYCRR 8.202.23) as canceled the June 23, 2020, special election for the office of Queens Borough President is invalid, and the opposition papers of the respondent Andrew M. Cuomo are deemed to be a cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against him and declaring that so much of Executive Order (Cuomo) No. 202.23 (9 NYCRR 8.202.23) as canceled the June 23, 2020, special election for the office of Queens Borough President is valid (see CPLR 103[c] ); and it is further,

ORDERED that the order and judgment is modified, on the law, by deleting the provision thereof, in effect, dismissing the declaratory judgment cause of action, and adding thereto a provision declaring that so much of Executive Order (Cuomo) No. 202.23 (9...
