187 A.D. 314 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1919
The defendants obtained an order that inter alia extended their time to answer for twenty days. Thereafter the defendants, upon a motion for resettlement, obtained an order of resettlement that extended their time for twenty days to answer, demur or otherwise move in respect to the complaint herein. The plaintiff appeals. The order cannot stand because it was not shown to the court that the direction of the court upon the original motion was that the defendants’ time should be extended to demur or otherwise plead. Indeed, the affidavit of defendants’ counsel rests upon explanation or extenuation of the omission to ask pleading other than answer.
Rich, Putnam, Blackmar and Jaycox, JJ., concurred.
Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs.
