WOODWORTH v. WOODWORTH
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department.
Dec 18, 1987
Judgment unanimously reversed on the law without costs and motion dismissed, in accordance with the following memorandum: In this action for a declaratory judgment, it was error for Special Term to grant plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and thereby determine the meaning of a provision in a separation agreement. This motion was premature because no complaint had been served (see, CPLR 3212 [a]; Republic Natl. Bank v Luis Winston, Inc., 107 A.D.2d 581; Miller v Nationwide Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 92 A.D.2d 723).
