p. 666Helene Molte, Appellant, v. Alfred F. Barbaresi, Trading under the Firm Name and Style of Barbaresi & Son, Respondent.
Order modified by striking therefrom the portion thereof which grants defendant leave to serve an amended answer, and as so modified affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements to the appellant. In our opinion, the Special Term improperly exercised its discretion in granting defendant leave to serve an amended answer, in view of the gross laches disclosed by the record, which is entirely unexcused. Lazansky, P. J., Young, Hagarty, Scudder and Davis, JJ., concur.
