 Introduced by M. of A. DINOWITZ -- read once and referred to the Commit-

 AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to permit-

 cases

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. The civil practice law and rules is amended by adding a new
 2 section 1405 to read as follows:

 12 creditor may collect any unsatisfied amount of the plaintiff's judgment
 13 against the defendant from the co-defendant or third-party defendant up
 14 to the amount awarded on the cause of action for contribution or indem-
 15 nification.
 16 (b) Where the plaintiff's judgment remains unsatisfied thirty days
 17 after it has been served on the defendant-judgment debtor, and where the
 18 defendant-judgment debtor has a cause of action for contribution or for
 19 contractual or common law indemnification which has not been reduced to
 20 judgment, the plaintiff-judgment creditor may attach, or take an assign-
 21 ment from the defendant-judgment debtor of, the cause of action for
 22 contribution or indemnification, and prosecute the cause of action in
 23 the plaintiff's o
