OPINION OF THE COURT
Robert A. Contiguglia, S.
The court was petitioned by Elizabeth Slater, executrix of the estate of Henry F. Slater, Jr., deceased, for leave to compromise and settle a claim against Nancy Devine for wrongful death of the decedent, and to distribute settlement proceeds received.
A hearing was held on December 17, 1979, after which the court directed the action be settled for the sum of $110,000. The interim settlement order was entered in the Cayuga County Surrogate’s Court on December 28, 1979. The settlement proceeds are now on deposit in the Cayuga County Savings Bank.
