Opinion:
BIJUR, J.
The plaintiff appeals from an order denying a motion to strike from the record a provision allowing costs to the defendant in a judgment of dismissal rendered against the plaintiff. Such an order is not appealable. The plaintiff should have moved for a retaxation of costs, and, if that motion had been denied, appealed from the judgment. Spiegelman v. Union Ry. Co., 95 App. Div. 92, 88 N. Y. Supp. 478.
Appeal dismissed, with $10 costs. All concur.
