Anna Rentz, Plaintiff, v. Ida Brodsky and Others, Defendants.
    Supreme Court, Special Term, Kings County,
    March 12, 1940.
    
      Nathaniel Roven, for the plaintiff.
    
      Bertram Lichtenberg, for the defendants.
   Dodd, J.

This action was brought to recover on a bond and to set aside the conveyances of certain real property made subsequent to the execution of the bond. The said section provides that attorney’s fees of a judgment creditor shall be fixed by the trial justice in an action brought by a judgment creditor to set aside a conveyance by a judgment debtor.” At the time the action was brought, the plaintiff could not be said to be a judgment creditor. Her claim had not yet been reduced to judgment. I hold that section 276-a must be strictly construed and the motion is, therefore, denied, without costs. Settle order on notice.
