In the Matter of CARLOS R. ALVARADO.

Motion to vacate ex parte order pursuant to CPLR 5704 change of name is limited (Matter of Halligan, 46 A.D.2d 170, 171-172). Here, there is no indication that petitioner's change of name will be an instrumentality of fraud, misrepresentation, or interference with the rights of others. The fact that confusion may result from the change of name is not a sufficient reason to deny the application. "[C]onfusion is a normal concomitant of any name change" (Matter of Halligan, supra, at 172).
