Opinion

Rosalie Lancette et al., Respondents, v Crouse-Irving Memorial Hospital, Inc., Appellant. [MAJORITY] •— Order unanimously reversed, without costs, and motion denied.

Co., 70 AD2d 1046). Accordingly, Special Term abused its discretion in granting the motion to restore. (Appeal from order of Onondaga Supreme Court —• restore to calendar.) Present — Dillon, P.J., Cardamone, Simons, Denman and Schnepp, JJ.
