Head Matter:
Alfonso M. Lopes, Plaintiff, and Domingos F. Nunes et al., Respondents, v. Doris Adams et al., Defendants, and J. C. P. Contracting Corp., Appellant.
Submitted November 15, 1971;
decided November 18, 1971.
John Nielsen for motion.
Patrick J. Hughes opposed.
Bernard Meyerson also opposed.

Opinion:
Motion granted. MVAIC lacks standing as an aggrieved party or otherwise to participate as a party to the appeal, its status as one entitled potentially to a right of contribution being insufficient (Nieves v. Manhattan & Bronx Surface Tr. Auth., 24 N Y 2d 741, 1030; Mahar v. City of Albany, 303 N. Y. 672, cf. CPLR 1402).
