149 N.Y.S. 273 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1913
Plaintiff sues under section 51 of the Civil Rights Law because of the unauthorized publication of his picture, which, he alleges, continued up to the beginning of the action. He prays for injunctive relief and money damages. Issue was joined about a year ago by service of the answer, which, for the purposes of this motion, may be regarded as a general denial. The case was noticed for trial at Special Term. Plaintiff now moves that it be sent to Trial Term, Part II, for a jury trial; the motion being made upon an affidavit which alleges that the publication of the picture has been discontinued since action brought.
Motion denied.
