    The following question was certified: .
    “ Under section 17 of the Lien Law, is the lien of a lienor continued for a longer period than one year when he has been made a party defendant to an action already begun to enforce another lien, wherein the plaintiff prior to the fifing of this defendant’s lien has filed a notice of pendency of the action within the prescribed time which, however, does not contain this particular lienor’s name, when the defendant, so joined, does not file a notice of pendency or obtain an order amending the original notice of lien or obtain an order extending the duration of his lien? ”
    
      John H. Hendrick and John L. Sheehan for appellant.
