Head Matter:
Walter D. Burris, Plaintiff, v. Matson Navigation Company, Defendant.
City Court of New York, Special Term, New York County,
May 24, 1940.
George J. Engelman, for the plaintiff.
Haigkt, Griffin, Deming & Gardner [J. Ward 0’ Neill and Milton James of counsel], for the defendant.

Opinion:
Coleman, J.
Motion is denied. The plaintiff is not a resident of New York, but of California, and unlike the statute covering the Federal courts (U. 8. Code, tit. 28, § 837), there is no statute in New York exempting a non-resident seaman from supplying security for costs. Order filed.
