v.
Frank SORRENTINO, Respondent.
Court of Appeals of New York.
July 19, 1928.
Appeal, by permission, from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department (222 App. Div. 835, 226 N. Y. S. 907), entered March 19, 1928, unanimously affirming a judgment in favor of defendant entered upon a dismissal of the complaint by the court at a Trial Term in an action to recover for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by plaintiff through the negligence of defendant. Plaintiff, a boy 11 years of age, was injured, as alleged, through the negligence of defendant, his father, in driving an automobile in which they were riding in such a careless manner that the car was overturned. The complaint was dismissed on the ground that a minor child living with his father cannot maintain an action to recover from the father damages for an unintentional injury.
[248 N.Y. 627]Andrew Byrne and Julius J. Gans, both of New York City, for appellant.
John T. Loughran and Robert H. Charlton, both of New York City, for respondent.
