MARIO PITTONI, J.
Plaintiffs' motion for a preference, pursuant to rule 151 of the Rules of Civil Practice, is granted. Plaintiff, John Ellis, is 75 years of age, and in the uncontroverted opinion of his physician, with a reasonable degree of medical certainty, he will not survive a lengthy delay in the trial of this case (cf. Sugarman v. Froom, 8 A.D.2d 857 [2d Dept.]; Mannina v. Quilas, 2 A.D.2d 682 [2d Dept.]; Migliorisi v. R.K.O.-Keith Orpheum Theatres, 1 A.D.2d 836 [2d Dept.]). It is common knowledge that the wait for a jury trial in Nassau County exceeds six years. The motion for a preference is, therefore, granted.
The case shall be added to the foot of the June 5, 1961 calendar.
