Al Klein, Appellant, v. 124-132 White Street, Inc., Respondent.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department,
December 3, 1963.
Stanley E. Gould for appellant. Tropp & Steinbock (I. Sidney Worthman of counsel), for respondent.

Section 192 (subd. c, par. [2]) of the New York City Civil Court Act does not preclude consideration of a motion to increase the ad damnum clause above $3,000 on the merits, simply because the case was originally instituted in the Municipal Court and transferred automatically. (Cohen v. Bezold, 37 Misc 2d 1081 ; Dolce v. Cayuga Foundation Corp., 38 Misc 2d 1078 .)

The order should be reversed, without costs, and motion remanded for determination on the merits.

Concur — Brown, Gulotta and Croat, JJ.

Order reversed, etc.
