Opinion
2008-303 N C.
Decided November 7, 2008.
Appeal from an order of the District Court of Nassau County, First District (Scott Fairgrieve, J.), dated October 29, 2007. The order granted respondents' motion to dismiss the proceeding.
Appeal dismissed.
PRESENT: McCABE, J.P., TANENBAUM and MOLIA, JJ.
The lower court's refusal to consider the papers that petitioner submitted in opposition to respondents' motion effectively constituted a granting of respondents' motion on default ( see Friedman v Starwood Hotels Resorts World Wide, Inc., 26 AD3d 161; Matter of Aetna Cas. Sur. Co. v Serrano, 181 AD2d 731). No appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the appealing party ( see CPLR 5511; Viggiani v Grodotzke, 306 AD2d 273). Thus, the appeal must be dismissed ( see Friedman, 26 AD3d 161; Viggiani, 306 AD2d 273).
McCabe, J.P., Tanenbaum and Molia, JJ., concur.
