4 A.D.3d 342

Marino v. Termini

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 2004-02-02

Decided 2004-02-02

¶1In two related actions, inter alia, to recover damages for fraud, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from (1) stated portions of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Barasch, J.), dated July 25, 2002, which, among other things, denied his motion for leave to enter a judgment against the defendants in Action No. 2 upon their alleged default in answering, and so much of an order of the same court dated September 12, 2002, as granted, without opposition, that branch of the cross motion of the defendant Guy Giuliano which was to the dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (7) and (8) insofar as asserted against him in Action No. 2.

¶2Ordered that the appeal from the order dated September 12, 2002, is dismissed, as no appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the aggrieved party (see CPLR 5511); and it is further,

¶3Ordered that the order dated July 25, 2002, is affirmed insofar as appealed from; and it is further,

¶4Ordered that one bill of costs is awarded to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.

¶5The plaintiff did not oppose the defendant Guy Giuliano’s cross motion, inter alia, to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (7) and (8). No appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the appealing party (see Adamson v Evans, 283 AD2d 527 [2001]). Thus, the appeal from the order dated September 12, 2002, must be dismissed.

¶6Moreover, under the facts of this case, the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiffs motion for leave to enter a judgment upon the alleged default of the defendants in Action No. 2 (see Luna v Luna, 263 AD2d 470 [1999]).

¶7The plaintiffs remaining contentions are without merit. Altman, J.E, Cozier, Mastro and Rivera, JJ., concur.
