Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1907-10-25

Appeal by the defendant, William C. Greene, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the blew York Special Term and. .entered in the office of the clerk of the county of blew York on the 23d day of ’July, 1907, granting the plaintiff’s motion to vacate an order for his examination, before trial. . .

Decided 1907-10-25

Ingraham, J.:

¶1While we do not wholly agree with the court below as to the grounds for the vacation of the order for plaintiff’s exainination, we think the order must be affirmed upon the ground that the original papers upon which the order for the examination was obtained, did not state that no previous application for the order had been made as required by rule 25 of the General Rules of Practice. That rule is most salutary, and its enforcement is necessary for the protection of the court to prevent applications made to one judge after the same application has been made to. and refused by another judge. The objection was seasonably taken by the plaintiff, and as this rule was intended to be enforced, a violation of it without excuse justified the court below in vacating the order..

¶2For this reason the order appealed, from must.be affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.

¶3Patterson, P,- J., Laughlin, Clarke and Houghton, JJ., concurred.

¶4Order affirmed, with ten' dollars costs and disbursements,
