## Opinion text

Concurring Opinion by HARRELL and GREENE, JJ.
We agree generally with Parts I and II of Judge Eldridge’s concurring opinion. Mr. Perez failed to satisfy the threshold requirement of Art. V, Sec. 4 of the Maryland Constitution in that he had not been admitted to the Bar of Maryland for at least ten years. That is as far as the Court need (and ought) go in order to decide the present case. The criterion that is dispositive of this matter is thus straightforward and easy for all to understand. The State Board of Elections may administer such a requirement by reference to the objective Bar admission records of this Court.
