DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION
Appeal and cross-appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dated May 2, 2022.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is
ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeal is denied; and it is further, ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to extend the time to serve and file an answering brief is granted, and on or before January 2, 2024, the respondent-appellant shall serve and file the answering brief, including the points of argument on the cross-appeal (see 22 NYCRR 1250.9[f][1][iv]), via NYSCEF, if applicable, or if NYSCEF is not mandated, serve the answering brief and upload a digital copy of the answering brief, with proof of service thereof, through the digital portal on this Court's website.
