Matter of McCarthy

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jun 5, 1952
107 N.E.2d 88 (N.Y. 1952)

Opinion

Argued May 21, 1952

Decided June 5, 1952

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

Bruce Bromley, Maurice Rosenberg, George Trosk in person, Joseph G. Abramson in person and Emanuel L. Greene in person for Eugene J. McCarthy and others, appellants.

Vincent J. Malone for Martin J. Kelly, Jr., and another, appellants.

Arthur G. Klein, special guardian, appellant in person.

John P. McGrath, Felix A. Muldoon and Charles S. Horgan, Jr., for respondent.

Joseph V. McKee for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, amicus curiae, in support of respondent's position.


Order affirmed, with costs to all parties appearing separately and filing separate briefs payable out of the estate. The determination of the make-up of a committee of an incompetent, and of allowances to attorneys and others in such a proceeding, rests in the sound discretion of the Supreme Court, and, in the exercise of that discretion, the Appellate Division stands in the same position as the Special Term. Therefore, the Appellate Division's order of modification — "on the law and on the facts and in the exercise of the court's discretion" — presents no question for review by this court. No opinion.

Concur: LOUGHRAN, Ch. J., LEWIS, CONWAY, DESMOND, DYE, FULD and FROESSEL, JJ.
