OPINION OF THE COURT
Mary Ellen Fitzmaurice, J.
On October 29, 1982, petitioner Anne R, an unmarried woman, gave birth to Megan R. Ten years later, Anne R. filed a petition alleging that Francis C., who was deceased, was the father of Megan and requesting that the court enter a posthumous order of filiation. Determining that no letters of administration had been issued and further finding that decedent’s widow would be in the best position to contest petitioner’s application (Matter of Henry v Rodd, 95 Misc 2d 996), the court ordered that the proceeding be brought against Mrs. C.
