Parties, 255 N.E.2d 564 Ann HODOM, individually and as the Administrator of the Estate of John Hodom, Deceased, Respondent, v. Robert STEARNS, d/b/a Pacific Research Laboratories International, Appellant.
CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals

Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, 32 A.D.2d 234, 301 N.Y.S.2d 146.

Action was brought for damages for allegedly fraudulent inducement of contract. The defendant made a motion to dismiss the complaint.

The Herkimer Special Term, Richard J. Cardamone, J., granted the motion, and the plaintiff appealed.

The Appellate Division entered an order reversing the order of the Special Term and held that the action was not within contract provision that all suits 'commenced under this agreement' shall be brought in Oregon court.

The defendant appealed to the Court of Appeals, and motion was made in the Court of Appeals to dismiss the appeal.

Motion to dismiss the appeal herein granted and the appeal dismissed, with costs and ten dollars costs of motion, upon the ground that the order appealed from does not finally determine the action within the meaning of the Constitution.
