Opinion

Lambert, J.:

There does not appear to have been any serious question that.the facts justified the ex parte order for the examination of the defendants, 'respondents; the order vacating such order was made upon the single ground, stated in the opinion of the court at Special [814]*814Term, that “ this action is now pending before a refel’eé, mid, therefore, the order herein for the examination of the defendant Grreene is unnecessary.” Section 870 of the Code of Civil Procedure specially provides that an •examination of this character “may be taken at his own instance or at the instance of an adverse party or by a co-plaintiff or co-defendant at any time before nr during the trial, as prescribed in this article.” The fact that, the case is actually on trial does not make any- difference; the rule of the Code is positive, and the original order, being proper upon the facts before the court, should not have been vacated. (Goldmark v. U. S. Electro-Galvanizing Co., 111 App. Div. 526, 528; McKeand v. Locke, 115 id. 174.)

The order appealed from should be, reversed, with ten dollars • costs and disbursements, and the older f.or examination of defendant should he: reinstated, and the motion to. vacate denied, with ten ■dollars costs. .

Ingraham, McLaughlin, Clarke and Houghton, JJ., concurred.
