Opinion
November 10, 1948.
Appeal from Supreme Court, Rensselaer County.
Present — Hill, P.J., Brewster, Foster, Russell and Deyo, JJ.
The actions are laid in negligence and arise out of an automobile accident. Defendants Musella served upon the plaintiffs a demand for a bill of particulars. Some of the items requested were improper, but plaintiffs did not move to vacate or modify the demand as to such items, as they might have done under rule 115 of the Rules of Civil Practice. Instead they furnished a partial bill, omitting items they deemed objectionable. Subsequently the defendants moved for a further bill, again specifying demands which the plaintiffs had failed to answer. The court below granted their motion, holding that the failure of plaintiffs to move to vacate or modify the original demand entitled the defendants to relief demanded. Although such failure to move to modify did not preclude the court from ruling on the propriety of the items demanded as a matter of law, the order appealed from was entirely discretionary and should be affirmed. Order unanimously affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
