Vincent G.

Connelly, attorney for Mercier in a cross-motion moved to dismiss the proceeding on statutory limitation grounds. Decision was reserved and District Attorney David W. Corwin was given five days to submit a replying brief. The original move to oust Mincier from was made by Special Assistant Attorney Gen-1 vi al Bernard Tompkins during I the Ulster County kickback probe. That move was thwarted when higher courts ruled a proceeding for removal could only be instituted by the district attorney of the county or a citizen of the township.

The matter was then referred to District Attorney Raymond J. Mino. On his resignation from office to become county judge the matter was referred to his successor District Attorney Corwin. Testimony taken before the grand jury was supplied to Corwin and on May 23, Corwin concluded there was sufficient grounds to warrant bringing proceedings for the removal of Mercier from office. At that time the proceedings also included Amos Stokes, town superintendent of highways for the Town of Marbletown, since re- I signed.

The removal petition is brought under Section 367 of the Public Officers Law and was returnable at I p. rn. Monday before the Appellate Division.
