    Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
    June 30, 1960.
    
      Bryan Fielder Levinson for appellant. Harold Zucker and Jacob B. Ward for State Rent Administrator, intervenorappellant. Edward Ingram for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

It is true that on May 1, 1950 the premises were decontrolled pursuant to order of the Federal Rent Expediter. But such an order did not prevent the Legislature from putting the premises under control when State control superseded control by the Federal Government (Teeval Co. v. Stern, 301 N. Y. 346). And the Legislature so acted (Emergency Housing Rent Control Law, § 2, subd. 2, par. [b] ; L. 1946, ch. 274, as amd.). The premises being controlled the final order was unwarranted.

Appeal from judgment dismissed as it appears that no judgment was ever entered. The final order should be reversed, with $30 costs, and petition dismissed, with costs.

Concur—Steuer, J. P., Hoestadter and Aurelio, JJ.

Final order reversed, etc.
