Opinion

Submitted November 25, 1969

Decided January 21, 1970

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, JOSEPH A. SUOZZI, J.

Francis W. Deegan for appellant.

Jay M. Landa for respondent.

Appeal dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that the order appealed from does not finally determine the action within the meaning of the Constitution. A stipulation for judgment absolute may not be given in a matrimonial action. (See, e.g., Friedman v. Friedman, 240 N.Y. 608; Weiman v. Weiman, 295 N.Y. 150; Rodgers v. Rodgers, 304 N.Y. 591; see, also, Cohen and Karger, Powers of the New York Court of Appeals, pp. 286-287; 7 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N.Y. Civ. Prac., par. 5601.13.)
