Max Wiener et al., Copartners Doing Business under the Name of Wiener Realty Co., Landlords, Appellants, v. Regent Brand Clothes, Inc., Tenant, Respondent.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
April 23, 1953.
Bernard L. Seligman for appellants.
Samuel Robert Weltz and Milton B. Franklin for respondent,

Examinations before trial in summary proceedings are contrary to the spirit and intent of the Legislature in providing the summary remedy (Dubowsky v. Goldsmith. 202 App. Div. 818 ).

The court had no jurisdiction to stay the summary proceedings before final order (Civ. Prac. Act, § 1446).

The order should be reversed, with $10 costs, motion denied and stay vacated.

Schreiber and Hecht, JJ., concur in Per Curiam memorandum; Hofstadter, J., concurs in result solely on ground that in the particular circumstances of this case it was an abuse of discretion to grant order for examination; I do not regard the Dubowsky case as persuasive, nor, of course, is it controlling •— and in this view, in a proper case, the court would have jurisdiction to order an examination and, pending its completion, order a stay.

Order reversed, etc.
