Connor v. Siebert

436 N.E.2d 1316, 56 N.Y.2d 674, 451 N.Y.S.2d 714, 1982 N.Y. LEXIS 3342

Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The orders of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

It was not an abuse of discretion as a matter of law for the Appellate Division to decline to entertain these actions for declaratory judgments on the ground that “no justiciable controversy exists upon which [the court] can properly rule” (CPLR 3001; New York Public Interest Research Group v Carey, 42 NY2d 527).

Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer concur.

In each case: Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
