Noteworthy cases

Carl Lewis Cannot Run

On Monday May 2, 2011, three appellate judges Philip Carchman, Ronald Graves and Carmen Messano upheld New Jersey Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State Kim Guadagno's decision to remove nine-time Olympic gold medalist and former New Jersey State Senate candidate Carl Lewis from the 2011 ballot because he failed to show he could meet the four-year New Jersey residency requirement. This ruling came after Lewis filed a federal complaint against Guadagno, claiming her initial decision, which found him ineligible, was in error.[2]
