89 A.D. 80

Diebold v. Walter

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1903-12-15

Appeal by the defendants, Anna Walter and another, from an order of the Supreme Court, made and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of New York on the 6th day of November, 1903, granting the plaintiff’s motion to place the case on the call calendar. On the trial of this action a juror was withdrawn in order to enable the plaintiff to apply at Special Term for an amendment of the complaint.

Decided 1903-12-15

Per Curiam :

¶1The question presented involved a construction of the order of this court made upon a former appeal (Diebold v. Walter, 83 App. Div. 254) wherein the terms upon which the plaintiff should be allowed to serve an amended complaint were fixed. We think that the learned judge at Special Term did not correctly construe our order. Thereby it was, in addition to other terms, provided that the defendant should be allowed twenty days in which to answer the amended complaint, “the case upon service of the answer to take its regular place on the calendar and not to be restored to the day calendar.” We think that the order appealed from which directed that it should be placed upon the call calendar preparatory to its being set down on the day calendar, was in violation of the terms of our order, and, for that reason, should not have been made.

¶2The order accordingly should be reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.

¶3Present — Van Brunt, P. J., Patterson, O’Brien, McLaughlin and Laughlin, JJ.

¶4Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
