Lloyd Gaynor v. Nelson A. Rockefeller, as Governor of the State of New York

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's dismissal of the plaintiffs' class action. It held that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue on behalf of an indeterminate class, that no cause of action existed against public officials or contractors, and that adequate administrative remedies precluded the extraordinary injunctive relief sought.
