114 N.E.2d 38 (N.Y. 1953)

114 N.E.2d 38

Opinion

Argued June 2, 1953

Decided July 14, 1953

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, HAMMER, J.

Denis M. Hurley, Corporation Counsel ( Reuben Levy, Harry E. O'Donnell and Benjamin Offner of counsel), for appellant-respondent.

Anthony Romano and George Schenker for respondent-appellant.

Per Curiam.

We think that the order of Special Term of June 25, 1951, as affirmed by the Appellate Division, is correct. The respects in which the court below modified the Special Term order by granting leave to open the condemnation proceeding for the purpose of reassessing the value of the improvements are now abstract, since the city declined to avail itself of that permission. We therefore do not pass upon these provisions of the order.

The order of the Appellate Division, insofar as it affirmed the order of Special Term should be affirmed, without costs.

LEWIS, Ch. J., CONWAY, DESMOND, DYE, FULD and FROESSEL, JJ., concur; VAN VOORHIS, J., taking no part.

Order affirmed.
