James Cesiro and Mary Cesiro, Respondents, v. The Jewish Hospital, Appellant, and Joseph Weinstein, Defendant.

Order dismissing action for lack of prosecution unless the plaintiffs restore and try the action at the term commencing September 30, 1929, modified by striking therefrom the words “ unless the plaintiff restores and tries the above-entitled action for the September 30th, 1929, term, and tried when reached,” and as so modified affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements to appellant. Plaintiffs have not satisfactorily explained their neglect to prosecute this action and the discretion of the Special Term was improperly exercised. (McGee v. Levy, 215 App. Div. 720 ; Regan v. Milliken Bros., 123 id. 72; Lerman v. Muller, 210 id. 860.) Young, Rich, Seeger, Carswell and Scudder, JJ., concur.
