Head Matter:
Charles Devine, Appellant, v. Hugo Hammer, Respondent.
First Department,
June 3, 1927.
Sidney S. Levine of counsel [Arnstein & Levine, attorneys], for the appellant.
Otto A. Samuels, for the respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
A complaint in an action for false arrest must allege that the arrest was illegal or made without a warrant. The plaintiff having failed to allege such facts, the complaint was properly dismissed.
The judgment should, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.
