REYNOLDS, J.P.
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Schenectady County, granting respondent's motion for permission to serve an amended complaint to add G.E. Van Vorst Co., Inc., as a party defendant in this action. The instant appeal was taken by William H. Millard and not G.E. Van Vorst Co. Millard is not a party aggrieved within the meaning of CPLR 5511 by the order adding an additional defendant (7 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N.Y. Civ. Prac., par. 5511.08). Accordingly, the appeal is improperly taken and must, therefore, be dismissed ( Matter of Cannan, 278 App. Div. 742). Appeal dismissed, without costs. Reynolds, J.P., Staley, Jr., Greenblott, Cooke and Sweeney, JJ., concur in memorandum by Reynolds, J.P.
