A.J. ARMSTRONG CO., INC., Respondent, v. RUTH NECHAMKIN, Defendant-Appellant and Third-Party Plaintiff-Appellant. SIDNEY FINKEL et al., Third-Party Defendants.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered August 31, 1976, which, inter alia, granted the motion of the plaintiff to strike the jury demand of the defendant and third-party plaintiff Ruth Nechamkin, unanimously affirmed, without costs or disbursements. Ruth Nechamkin had executed a guarantee in favor of A.J. Armstrong Co., Inc., to induce it to make a loan to a corporation known as Olim Sales Corp. The guarantee contained a waiver of "all right to a jury trial in any action against the undersigned [guarantor]." A jury waiver clause in a guarantee is enforceable (James Talcott, Inc. v Wilson Hosiery Co., 32 A.D.2d 524; Bonnie-Lassie Sportswear v Century Factors, 283 App. Div. 702), and the defendant and third-party plaintiff has offered no adequate reason to deny enforcement of the waiver in the case at bar.

Concur — Stevens, P.J., Markewich, Kupferman, Silverman and Lane, JJ.
