Head Matter:
James M. Welty et al., Respondents, v C. Sterling Brown, Appellant.
Decided September 7, 1977

Opinion:
Appeal dismissed, without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte, upon the ground that the stipulation for judgment absolute, under the facts of this case is illusory and frustrates the purpose of CPLR 5601 (subd [c]) (see 7 Weinstein-KornMiller, NY Civ Prac, par 5601.16; 11 Carmody-Wait 2d, NY Prac, § 71:34, 71:35).
