FORM No. 2077.

Stipulation for judgment absolute on appealing to Court of Appeals from order granting new trial.9

[Insert at end of Form No. 2074 after the :] And the abovenamed [plaintiff] and appellant hereby stipulates and agrees that if the said order of the Appellate Division be affirmed, judgment absolute shall be rendered against him in favor of the abovenamed [defendant] and respondent.

7 If the order is entered before entry of judgment, it may be reviewed as an intermediate order, if specified as in Form 2078. See notes to that Form.

$ Unless an appeal from the order is included, the weight of evidence or amount of verdict will not be considered. See Mollineaux r. Clapp, 99 App. Div. 543, 91 N. Y. Supp. 880; Prager r. Schafuss, 51 Misc. 647. The Appellate Division. on an appeal from the judgment alone, can view only the questions of law presented by exceptions. Alden v. Knights of Maccabees, 178 N. Y. 535; Perry r. Village of Potsdam, 106 App. Div. 297, 94 N. Y. Supp. 683.

re

If the order is not entered until the time to appeal from the judgment has expired, an appeal will lie from the order. Howe v. Noyes, 48 Misc. 356, 95 N. Y. Supp. 542; Whitman v. Johnson, 10 Misc. 725, 31 N. Y. Supp. 1009.

9 N. Y. Code Civ. Pro., § 190, subd. 1: Lane r. Wheeler, 101 N. Y. 17; Wilmore . Flack, 96 id. 513, 6 Civ. Pro. Rep. (Browne) 191, 202; Mott r. Lansing, 5 Lans. 516. The Appellate Division cannot dispense with the stipulation by certifying questions. N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. Co., v. State,

166 N. Y. 286; Mundt v. Glokner, 160 id. 571. In the absence of the stipulation the appeal will be dismissed. Matter of Valentine, 136 id. 623.

Such an appeal can be taken within sixty days after entry of the judgment of reversal, although the order of the Appellate Division and notice of entry were previously served. Wingert . Krakauer, 180 N. Y. 265.

Relief from the stipulation will not be granted, after the appeal has been heard and decided. See Williams v. Lindblom, 143 N. Y. 675. But may be granted on terms before the hearing of the appeal. See Caldwell v. Mut. Reserve, etc., Assoc., 169 id. 576.

Where the Appellate Term orders a new trial, on appeal from the New York City Court, an application for leave to appeal to the Appellate Division must be accompanied by a stipu lation for judgment absolute. Code Civ. Pro., 3191. On allowing an appeal from an order granting a new trial on appeal from a municipal court judgment, the Appellate Term may require a stipulation for judg ment absolute, as a condition; otherwise no stipulation need be given. Code Civ. Pro., § 1344; Hart r. North Germ.-Lloyd Steamship Co., 108 App. Div. 279, 95 N. Y. Supp. 733.

At a term of the Appellate Division [etc.; as in Form 820, p. 1175 of this volume].

On reading and filing the [defendant's] notice of motion for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals from the judgment [or,

10 Code Civ. Pro., §§ 1301, 1316. The "intermediate order" which may be reviewed, is one made between service of summons and entry of the judgment. An order denying motion for a new trial, after verdict, if entered before the judgment, may be reviewed upon appeal from the judg ment, if specified in the notice of appeal. Taylor r. Smith, 164 N. Y. 399. But if the order is made after judg ment entered, it can only be reviewed when directly appealed from, as in Form 2076. Zeisloft . Blackburne Co., 45 Misc. 595, 91 N. Y. Supp. 8. So, as to order for extra allowance. Harris . Balt. Machine, etc., Co., 112 App. Div. 389. The filing of the referee's report, however, has been held to operate as a termination of the action, and orders thereafter made to only be reviewable upon direct appeal therefrom. Spencer r. Huntington. 100 App. Div. 463, 91 N. Y. Supp. 561. (This decision is of doubtful propriety.)

The fact that the time has expired within which to appeal separately from the interlocutory judgment or the intermediate order, is immaterial. Code Civ. Pro., § 1316.

As to what is an "intermediate order necessarily affecting final judg ment," see Herb v. Met. Hospital, 80 App. Div. 145, 80 N. Y. Supp. 552, 12 Anno. Cas. 415.

11 Francis r. Tilyou, 26 App. Div. 340, 49 N. Y. Supp. 799.

12 See Seligsberg v. Schepp, 79 App. Div. 626, 80 N. Y. Supp. 154.

If the motion to resettle was denied, the original order will not be reviewed upon an appeal from the order denying resettlement. Pinchot r. N. Y. Elev. R. R. Co., 49 App. Div. 356, 63 N. Y. Supp. 489.
