Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, 27 A.D.2d 942, 279 N.Y.S.2d 41.

Carpenters' union brought arbitration proceeding under arbitration provision in alleged collective bargaining agreement between union and employer. An action by the employer was stayed pending the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding. During the hearing before the arbitrator the employer was indicted for violating the former Penal Law, Consol.

The employer requested adjournment of the arbitration proceeding until the indictment was disposed of.

The Supreme Court, Special Term, Rockland County, Joseph F. Hawkins, J., entered orders which dismissed the action because of the arbitration and award and confirmed the arbitration and award, and the employer appealed.
