Margaret MALEKIAN, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. McLEAN TRUCKING CO., Defendant-Appellant, and Hubert P.

Carroll, Defendant.

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.

April 12, 1960.

S. B. Weingrad, New York City, for defendant-appellant.

B. E. Aron, New York City, for plaintiff-respondent.

Before BOTEIN, P. J., and BREITEL, M. M. FRANK, VALENTE and McNALLY, Jj.

PER CURIAM.

Order unanimously reversed, on the law, on the facts and in the exercise of discretion, with $20 costs and disbursements to the defendant-appellant, and the motion to restore the action to the calendar is denied. The same consequences flow from plaintiff's failure to restore the action to the Trial Calendar within one year after being marked off as upon failure to prosecute an action. Barnett Co. v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 7 A.D.2d 897, 181 N.Y.S.2d 890. The removal of counsel's office, the assigned reason for the delay in moving to restore this cause, does not explain the unreasonable neglect apparent herein. Civil Practice Act, § 181; Moshman v. City of New York, 3 A.D.2d 824, 160 N.Y.S.2d 977.
