From breaking news at the Eagle Tribune:

LAWRENCE – An effort to ouster Mayor William Lantigua fell about 900 signatures short of the 5,232 it needed to prompt a recall of the state’s first Hispanic mayor.

The City Clerk’s office was able to verify 4,366 of the 5,483 signatures as registered voters on the recall petition submitted by group It’s Your Right last Monday.

Both Lantigua and It’s Your Right have until Tuesday to challenge any of the signatures with the city’s Board of Registrars.
