Head Matter:
MARVIN VAN DUYNE, PETITIONER-APPELLANT, v. CALDWELL MOTORS, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.
Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division
Argued December 18, 1961
Decided December 20, 1961.
Before Judges Goldmann, Poley and Molineux.
Mr. Patrick J. Timmons argued the cause for appellant.
Mr. Lewis P. Dolan, Jr., argued the cause for respondent (Messrs. Dolan and Dolan,attorneys; Mr. William Martin Cox, on the brief).

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The judgment of the County Court affirming the judgment entered in the Workmen's Compensation Division in favor of respondent because the Division did not have jurisdiction of the claim petition, is affirmed for the reasons stated by County Judge Mills. As he observed, the filing of a claim petition within the time prescribed by B. 8. 34:15-51 is a jurisdictional requirement. Schwarz v. Federal Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., 29 N. J. Super. 374, 376 (App. Div. 1954); Scaglione v. St. Paul Mercury Indemnity Co., 46 N. J. Super. 363, 368 (App. Div. 1957).
