DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, with costs.
On this appeal, the appellant challenges certain findings of fact made after a hearing. However, findings of fact are not independently appealable and consequently, the appeal must be dismissed (see, Naar v. Litwak Co., 260 A.D.2d 613; Matter of County of Westchester v. O'Neill, 191 A.D.2d 556).
