Daniel F. Hanley, Respondent, v. Associated Press, Appellant.

This is an appeal by defendant from an order of the Albany Special Term entered in the Office of the Clerk of the County of Albany, January 30, 1947, denying a motion made by defendant to dismiss the complaint upon the ground that it appeared on the face thereof it did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The action is one for libel based upon ridicule. The complaint states a cause of action. Order affirmed, with $25 costs. All concur. [See post, p. 966.]
