In a proceeding for a readjustment of the rights of the holders of certain mortgage certificates, final order approving a plan for such readjustment under the Schaekno Act modified so as to provide that the additional consents filed by the respondents subsequent to the entry of the final order, pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, shall be considered filed nunc pro tunc as of the date of said final order and be counted in making up the required two-thirds. As so modified, the final order is unanimously affirmed, with costs to the respondents. Section 8 of the Schaekno Act (Laws of 1933, chap. 745, as amd. by Laws of 1935, chap. 588) provides that if, at the time of making such order, the percentage of the holders of such mortgage investment shall not have approved the same, such order shall provide that, upon satisfactory proof of the fact that sixty-six and two-thirds per cent of the holders" in principal amount of such mortgage investments shall have approved the same, *777a further order may be entered ex parte approving such plan or agreement, which further order shall be binding upon all the holders of such mortgage investments and upon the guarantee corporation. In our opinion, this provision authorizes the inclusion of the additional consents filed herein subsequent to the entry of the final order in order to make up the required two-thirds. But in order that there may be no question as to the validity of the final order, we modify the same so as to permit the filing of such additional consents nunc pro tune. Present — Lazansky, P. J., Young, Hagarty, Johnston and Adel, JJ.
