Head Matter:
Edgar W. Levey, Plaintiff, v. The Tribune Association, Defendant.
(Supreme Court, New York Trial Term,
January, 1898.)
Practice — 'Striking case from calendar for irregularity Laches.
The delay of a defendant, in waiting until a case has appeared for the second time on the calendar, before moving to strike it therefrom for the failure of the plaintiff, after the service of an amended answer, to serve a new notice of trial and file another note of issue, is a waiver of. the irregularity.
Motion to strike cause from the calendar.
Henry W. Sackett, for motion,
W. F. Severance, opposed.

Opinion:
Gildersleeve, J.
This is a motion to strike the cause from the calendar for the- reason that no new notice of trial has been served and no note of issue filed since the service of the amended answer See Yates v. McAdam, 18 Misc. Rep. 295. It seems, however, that when the case appeared on the calendar, on November 5, 1897, some time after the service of the amended pleading, the plaintiff moved to put over the case to December 21, 1897, and that the de:. fendant's representative, who was in court to answer the call of the calendar, consented to this disposition of the case, or, at least, made no opposition thereto. Subsequently, when the case again-appeared! on.the.calendar, on December 24, 1897, defendant made this motion to strike the cause from the calendar. It is my opinion that the defendant's- laches in waiting until the cause- had appeared, for. the second time on the calendar, before taking advantage of plaintiff's failure to comply with the rule laid down in Yates v. McAdam, supra, operate as a waiver of .the irregularity .charged. See Mangone v. Met. St. Ry. Co., 21 Misc. Rep. 565; Stanfield v. Stanfield, 21 id: 409. The motion must be denied, and the cause set down on Friday's calendar,'January 7, 1898.- :
Motion denied.
