| N.Y. Sup. Ct. | Nov 23, 1959
Plaintiff in this negligence action moves for leave (1) to add a party defendant pursuant to section 192 of the Civil Practice Act, (2) to amend his complaint accordingly, and (3) pursuant to section 219 of the Civil Practice Act to serve a supplemental summons and amended complaint on the party defendant sought to be added hereto. It is now well established that where it is desired to add a new party defendant a court order on notice to the original defendants must be given (Pittman v. March Service Co., 141 N. Y. S. 2d 74, 76; Seaman v. Colon, 130 Misc. 568" court="N.Y. Sup. Ct." date_filed="1927-10-05" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/seaman-v-colon-5420187?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="5420187">130 Misc. 568; Luckey v. Mockridge, 112 A.D. 199" court="N.Y.

Keeping in mind the provisions of section 192 which states in substance that parties may be added or dropped by the court at any stage of the cause (Majestic Loose Leaf v. Cannizzaro, 10 Misc. 2d 1040" court="N.Y. Sup. Ct." date_filed="1957-12-09" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/majestic-loose-leaf-inc-v-cannizzaro-6168249?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6168249">10 Misc 2d 1040, 1043) this motion is appropriately made. As to the objection of defendant Gordon that a prior similar motion was made in this court, it is not disputed that such motion on the calendar call was marked ‘ ‘ withdrawn without prejudice ” albeit no mention thereof is made in the papers
