Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert R. Reed, J.), entered on or about October 9, 2019, which granted defendant CCNY Construction, Inc.'s and defendants West 161 St. Associates LLC and Sutton Management Corp.'s motions for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as against them, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as untimely.
Plaintiff should have appealed from the so-ordered transcript entered September 29, 2019, and served with notice of entry, rather than the substantively identical short-form order entered on or about October 9, 2019 (see Anonymous v. Gerald R. , 155 A.D.3d 514, 63 N.Y.S.3d 863 [1st Dept. 2017] ; Panasia Estate, Inc. v. Broche , 103 A.D.3d 426, 426, 959 N.Y.S.2d 190 [1st Dept. 2013] ; L.J.B. Corp. v. City of New York , 182 A.D.2d 485, 487, 581 N.Y.S.2d 798 [1st Dept. 1992], lv. denied 80 N.Y.2d 755, 588 N.Y.S.2d 823, 602 N.E.2d 231 [1992] ). The time to appeal from the so-ordered transcript expired on October 20, 2019, more than one month before plaintiff filed his notice of appeal from the short-form order.
