"“We hold that Duggan has not met the qualifications for elected office by the plain terms contained in the charter,” the three-judge panel said in a majority opinion and a partial dissent from one judge. “Consequently, where Duggan has failed to meet the charter requirements for elective office, his name may not appear on the ballot. Plaintiff thus has a clear legal right to have Duggan’s name removed from the list of candidates and the Commission has a clear legal duty to perform this ministerial act.” Judges Christopher Murray and Michael Talbot wrote the majority opinion. Judge Cynthia Diane Stephens wrote a partial dissent."
