OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE
Appeal from a judgment, entered July 10, 1933, upon orders of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department (238 App. Div. 291, 264 N. Y. S. 488) reversing upon the law and facts a judgment in favor of plaintiffs entered upon a decision of the court at an Equity Term, and directing, upon new findings, the entry of judgment dismissing the complaint. The action was brought in equity to set aside, on the ground of fraud, a deficiency judgment entered against the plaintiffs in an action to foreclose a first mortgage upon real property, which plaintiffs had assigned to defendant by an instrument guaranteeing payment thereof. The Appellate Division, in dismissing the complaint, held that the fraudulent acts, which plaintiffs relied upon to support the judgment below, had occurred more than ten years before the commencement of this action, and that the action was therefore barred by the statute of limitations.
Seymour Bernstein and Charles B. Bechtold, both of Rochester, for appellants.
John M. Sutton, in pro. per.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
