    Joshua Sokolow, Respondent, v. Marsha Sokolow, Appellant.
   Since this was a nonjury case, the trial court was required to render a decision, either oral or written, stating the facts which it deemed essential (Civ. Prae. Act, § 440). This it did not do. The decision required by section 440 of the Civil Practice Act may not be omitted (Driskell v. Alfano, 12 A D 2d 973). Beldock, Acting P. J., Kleinfeld, Christ, Pette and Brennan, JJ., concur.
