Head Matter:
Anna Zientara, Respondent, v. Joseph Zientara, Appellant.
Submitted November 25, 1969;
decided January 21, 1970.
Francis W. Deegan for appellant.
Jay M. Landa for respondent.

Opinion:
Appeal dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that the order appealed from does not finally determine the action within the meaning of the Constitution. A stipulation for judgment absolute may not be given in a matrimonial action. (See, e. g., Friedman v. Friedman, 240 N. Y. 608; Weiman v. Weiman, 295 N. Y. 150; Rodgers v. Rodgers, 304 N. Y. 591; see, also, Cohen and Karger, Powers of the New York Court of Appeals, pp. 286-287; 7 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N. Y. Civ. Prac., par. 5601.13.)
