251 A.D. 403; 296 N.Y.S. 677; 1937 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6958

Counsel

Morris G. Duchin of counsel [Pfeiffer & Crames, attorneys], for Martha Simon, appellant., Martin H. Young of counsel [Leo Young, attorney], for Irving Rogers, appellant., William M. Silverman of counsel [Herbert Friedman with him on the brief], for the respondent.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The attorney Silverman, having appeared throughout the entire proceeding as attorney for Milton Rogers, an adverse party, and the allowance having been made to him in that capacity, section 1373 of the Civil Practice Act limits the compensation which may be allowed to fifty dollars and disbursements.

The order should be modified by reducing the allowance to the attorney William M. Silverman to fifty dollars, in addition to eighty-one dollars and thirty cents disbursements, and, as so modified, affirmed, without costs.

Present — Martin, P. J., Untermybr, Dore, Cohn and Callahan, JJ.

Order, so far as appealed from, unanimously modified by reducing the allowance to the attorney William M. Silverman to fifty dollars, in addition to eighty-one dollars and thirty cents disbursements, and, as so modified, affirmed, without costs.
