Stanley J. Levy and Richard Irwirn Portnoy for Bita G. Klein, as administratrix, appellant.
Edward F. Hayes, III and Paul G. Pennoyer, Jr. for Piedmont Aviation, Inc., respondent.

In each action: Order affirmed, without costs. The Appellate Division did not abuse its discretion in deciding to refuse jurisdiction. The circumstance that, in this action brought by a nonresident plaintiff, one of the defendants is a domestic corporation does not require that this State entertain the suit insofar as other foreign corporations and other nonresidents are concerned.

Concur: Chief Judge Fuld and Judges Burke, Scileppi, Bergan, Breitel, Jasen and Gibson.
