Court of Appeals of New York.

July 7, 1967.

Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.

The Appellate Division entered an order May 4, 1967, which denied a motion by attorney (1) to vacate an order, entered February 3, 1966, 25 A.D.2d 48, 266 N.Y.S.2d 958, disbarring him, (2) to reopen the hearings and refer the matter to a different referee, (3) to amend the order of disbarment to recite that constitutional questions were necessarily considered and passed on, and (4) a stay and other relief.

The Appellate Division denied the motion.

The attorney appealed to the Court of Appeals, and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York made a motion in the Court of Appeals to dismiss the appeal, and the attorney made a cross-motion in the Court of Appeals for leave to appeal from the order in event of dismissal of the appeal taken as of right.

Motion granted and appeal taken as of right dismissed, without costs, upon the ground the order appealed from does not finally determine the proceeding within the meaning of the Constitution.

Cross-motion denied.
