Opinion
December, 1907.
Carl Schurz Petrasch, for appellant.
Henry Kuntz, for respondent.
Issue was joined in this action on May 25, 1906, and plaintiff, on January 29, 1907, noticed the cause for trial for the February term, 1907. No notice of application for a preference was served, although it appeared upon the face of the complaint that plaintiff was entitled to a preference under subdivision 5 of section 791 of the Code of Civil Procedure. On May 6, 1907, plaintiff served a notice of motion, returnable on the thirteenth, for a preference; and on the seventeenth this motion was granted and an order entered setting the cause down for trial on the twenty-third. The plaintiff, by his failure to serve notice of application for a preference with his notice of trial, waived any claim to such preferment. Code Civ. Pro., § 793; Rule III, Rules of the City Court of the city of New York.
Present: GILDERSLEEVE, GUY and BRUCE, JJ.
Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion for preference denied, with ten dollars costs.
