DECISION

I find that:

1. The evidence presented by the Objector clearly places Jeffery Dunn’s residency outside of the Third Ward within one (1) year of the election; and

2. Jeffery Dunn did not show sufficient evidence to support his contention that he resided in the Third Ward one year prior to the election as required by Section 2.3(a) of the Plainfield Municipal Charter; and

3. I am ruling in favor of the objector, Chairman Adrian O. Mapp, and invalidating the petitions of Jeffery Dunn, and declare him rejected and the nominations null and void.

ABUBAKAR T. JALLOH, R.M.C.
MUNICIPAL CLERK
CITY OF PLAINFIELD, NJ
DATED: APRIL 12, 2016
CC: DAVID L. MINCHELLO, ESQ. (PLAINFIELD CORPORATION COUNSEL)
DANIEL A. WILLIAMSON, ESQ.
ROBERT F. RENAUD, ESQ.

Mr. Dunn has the right of appeal to the courts.
