CHASE, J.

After the service of the complaint and answer both parties moved at Special Term for judgment upon the pleadings, and the motions were denied. Both parties appealed from the order entered on such decision to the Appellate Division, and the order was reversed (Silverstein v. Standard Accident Insurance Co., 175 App. Div. 639,162 N. Y. Supp. 601), and the motion of the defendant granted. The order of the Appellate Division was duly filed in the office of the clerk of the county of New York, and judgment was entered thereon in favor of the defendant, dismissing the complaint, with costs. The plaintiff then made application to the Appellate Division for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals, which application was denied. Silverstein v. Standard Accident Insurance Co., 176 App. Div. 912,162 N. Y. Supp. 1144.

Supp. 1113), and from the judgment entered upon that order, dismissing the appeal, an appeal is taken to this court (Stevens v. Central National Bank of Boston, 162 N. Y. 253, 56 N. E. 628).
