Head Matter:
Evaristo Cotriche, as Administrator of the Estate of Nicla Cotriche, Deceased, et al., Appellants, v St. Vincent’s Hospital et al., Respondents.

Opinion:
Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County, entered May 12, 1975, unanimously affirmed, without costs, and without disbursements. It appears, however, that the complaint, though inartistically drawn, sets forth an attempt to state a cause of action for the decedent's conscious pain and suffering, as well as a derivative cause in favor of the surviving husband. In the interest of justice, we grant leave to plaintiff-appellant, within 30 days of service of a copy of the order entered hereon, to serve a new complaint containing these causes, properly pleaded, and without the cause dismissed by reason of limitation of time.
