New York Supreme Court · decided 1895-11-15

Action by Thomas Hay against Pamelia B. Cole. A judgment entered by confession in favor of plaintiff was set aside on the motion of Frederick G. Schulze, and plaintiff appeals. Reversed.

Decided 1895-11-15

PER CURIAM.

¶1It is disclosed by the record that the respondent brought an action in the court of common pleas against Thomas Hay to set aside said judgment on the same ground disclosed in the motion papers, which action was pending when this motion was heard and decided. This fact is conceded. The respondent had no right to prosecute concurrent remedies at the same time in different courts for the same relief. . Had he desired to obtain relief by motion he should have discontinued his action, and the pending action is a defense to this motion.

¶2The order should be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion denied, with $10 costs and disbursements.
