Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
There is nothing either in the complaint or in the affidavit upon which this motion was made to show that the account stated is an account containing items, and thus within section 531 of the Code of Procedure. In the absence of such proof, no order requiring a copy of such account to be served was justified.
The order should be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion denied, with $10 costs.
