Albert G. F. Kurowski, Appellant, v. Farley Shapiro, Respondent.
   Order granting the defendant’s motion to compel the plaintiff to amend his complaint so as to join the Travelers Insurance Company as a party plaintiff reversed on the law, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs. The Travelers Insurance Company is not a necessary party to this action since a cause of action to recover damages for a personal injury cannot be transferred and cannot be split. (Gen. A. F. & L. Assur. Corp. v. Zerbe Const. Co., 269 N. Y. 227; Dickinson v. Tysen, 125 App. Div. 735.) Hagarty, Carswell, Johnston, Adel and Close, JJ., concur.
