OPINION
LASKER, District Judge.
This suit attacks the constitutionality of the New York Attachment Statute, CPLR § 6201 et seq., which permits ex parte pre-judgment attachment of the property of a defendant. In particular, it is claimed that CPLR § 6201(4) (5) and (8), and CPLR § 6211, 1 which collectively allow such attachment upon a plaintiff’s ex parte allegation that the defendant has defrauded him, violate the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in depriving the defendant of property without prior notice or hearing. Jurisdiction is alleged under 28 U. S.C. §§ 1331(a), 1343(3)…
