Opinion
February 26, 1962
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated February 1, 1961, which granted the motion of her former attorney, Alexander Kosloff, for permission to withdraw as her attorney in the action. Defendant is the owner of three adjoining buildings, two of which are insured by the Manhattan Casualty Company and the third by the Glens Falls Insurance Company. Originally, plaintiff claimed that his injuries were caused by the negligence of defendant in the maintenance of the buildings insured by the Manhattan Casualty Company. Plaintiff now claims, however, that his injuries were caused by the negligence of defendant in the maintenance of the building insured by the Glens Falls Insurance Company. In effect, the order appealed from permits the withdrawal of the Manhattan Casualty Company's attorney as the attorney for the defendant in this action. Order affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements payable by the attorneys who appeared specially for the defendant. Beldock, P.J., Ughetta, Kleinfeld, Christ and Hopkins, JJ., concur.
