Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Feb 23, 1927
155 N.E. 901 (N.Y. 1927)

Opinion

Argued January 11, 1927

Decided February 23, 1927

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.

Abraham Benedict, Gustavus A. Rogers and Edith H. Kunen for appellant.

Clinton T. Roe and Ely Rosenberg for respondent.


The interest of the plaintiff as a lot owner is too remote to enable him to bring this action to obtain adjudication of the rights of a third party against the cemetery corporation.

The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed and that of Special Term affirmed, with costs in this court and in the Appellate Division. Certified question answered in the negative.

CARDOZO, Ch. J., POUND, CRANE, ANDREWS and LEHMAN, JJ., concur; KELLOGG, J., absent.

Ordered accordingly.
