    Joseph P. Masotti et al., Respondents, v James L. Petrozza, Appellant.
   In a negligence action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., defendant appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated February 1, 1977, as denied his motion for leave to amend his answer so as to assert the defense of the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Order affirmed insofar as appealed from, with $50 costs and disbursements (see Brecher v Brecher, 27 NY2d 986; Bingham v Battista, 38 AD2d 839). Hopkins, J. P., Latham, Shapiro and Mollen, JJ., concur.
