Allen M. HOCHSTEIN et al., Appellants, v. Arthur WARNER, an infant, etc., et al., Respondents.

Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division, Second Department.

Jan. 12, 1970.

Abrams & Martin, (Formerly Henry H. Abrams), New York City, for plaintiffs-appellants; Alan Jay Martin, New York City, of counsel.

Benson & Morris, New York City, for defendant-respondent, Michael Cholewka, an infant; William C. Morris, New York City, of counsel.

Evans, Orr, Pacelli, Norton & Laffan, New York City, for defendant-respondent Warner; William F. Quirk, New York City, of counsel.

In a negligence action to recover damages for personal injuries, plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated June 19, 1968, which denied their motion for summary judgment. Order affirmed, with one bill of $10 costs and disbursements, payable jointly to respondents filing separate briefs. The facts herein are clearly distinguishable from Whitely v. Lo Bue, 30 A.D.2d 552, 291 N.Y.S.2d 791, revd. 24 N.Y.2d 886, 301 N.Y.S.2d 631, 249 N.E.2d 473, and thus summary judgment was properly denied.

BRENNAN, Acting P.J., and HOPKINS, BENJAMIN, MARTUSCELLO and KLEINFELD, JJ., concur.
