Falcone v. Falcone

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Nov 27, 1968
23 N.Y.2d 738 (N.Y. 1968)

Opinion

Argued November 20, 1968

Decided November 27, 1968

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department, GILBERT H. KING, J.

George M. Donohue for appellant.

Nunzio Rizzo for respondent.


Appeal dismissed, without costs and without prejudice to a motion for leave to appeal (CPLR 5514, subd. [a]), upon the ground that no appeal lies as of right to the Court of Appeals from a unanimous affirmance by the Appellate Division. The additional finding made by the Appellate Division is merely an added ground for its decision and does not constitute a modification of the trial court's determination (Cohen and Karger, Powers of the New York Court of Appeals, p. 223). Emerson Garden Elec. Co. v. Seaboard Sur. Co. ( 15 N.Y.2d 1030), relied upon by appellant, involved a determination which constituted a modification by directing further action by the attorneys for the parties.
