Opinion
Argued May 26, 1970
Decided June 4, 1970
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department, FRANCIS J. BLOUSTEIN, J.
Lawrence N. Marcus for appellant.
Morris Weissberg for respondents.
Appeal dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that the order appealed from does not finally determine the proceeding within the meaning of the Constitution. An appeal does not lie upon a stipulation for judgment absolute from an order granting a trial or hearing in the first instance, as distinguished from an order granting a "new trial or hearing" (CPLR 5601, subd. [c]; Cohen and Karger, Powers of the New York Court of Appeals, pp. 283-284).
Concur: Judges BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, BREITEL and JASEN. Taking no part: Chief Judge FULD and Judge GIBSON.
