Head Matter:
Joseph Tittle, Appellant, v. Samuel Katz et al., Defendants, and Gertrude Bertorelli et al., Respondents.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Bule XXVII of the New York City Court Buies is substantially the same as the Special Bule Bespecting Calendar Practice of the New York County Supreme Court. Under that rule, unless the defendant moves within 20 days after the filing of the certificate of readiness to strike the case from the calendar, he waives his right to take the plaintiff's deposition, at least in the absence of special, unusual or extraordinary circumstances (Price v. Brody, 7 A D 2d 204). No such circumstances are shown here, and the defendant did not move within 20 days to strike the case from the calendar.
It was, therefore, error to dismiss the complaint unless the plaintiff submitted to examination.
The order should be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion denied.
Concur — Hoestadter, J. P., Steuer and Tilzer, JJ.
Order reversed, etc.
