88 N.Y.S. 356 | N.Y. App. Term. | 1904
There are two appeals in this case, both taken by the plaintiff, (i) An appeal from an order'granting a new trial to the defendants upon the ground of newly discovered evidence. (2) An appeal from a judgment of default in favor of the defendants, against the plaintiff for costs.
The history of the case is substantially as follows: The plaintiff . obtained a judgment against the defendants on August 30, 1903, and the defendants duly appealed therefrom. Subsequently the defendants, upon a motion duly made for that purpose, obtained an order granting a new trial and vacating the judgment. From this order the plaintiff appealed, being appeal No. 1 aforesaid. The appeal from the judgment taken by the defendants was discontinued by consent. After the motion for a new trial was granted, 'the case was set down for trial upon December 9, 1903, and adjourned by consent of parties until December 29, 1903. Plaintiff failed to appear on the last-named day, claiming that their then pending appeal from the order granting a new trial operated as a stay. The case was again adjourned until January 5, 1904, and, plaintiff then failing and refusing to appear, the- complaint was dismissed with costs, and the appeal from the judgment so rendered is appeal No. 2 herein.
The plaintiff is in error. The appeal from the order granting the motion for a new trial did not of itself operate as a stay. Section 1310 of
As the disposition of this appeal leaves no action pending, the merits of the appeal from the order granting a new trial need not be considered, and the appeal from such order should be dismissed.
Appeal from order dismissed, with $10 costs. Judgment affirmed, with costs. All concur.
