Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered on January 6, 1972, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs and without disbursements, and the motion of third-party defendant-respondent to dismiss the cause of action stated against it by third-party plaintiff-appellant denied, and the cause reinstated. Special Term, deciding the motion before the decision in Dole v. Dow Chem. Co. (30 N Y 2d 143) relied, in dismissing, upon the active-passive negligence doctrine.
