JINFENG ZHANG, Petitioner-Appellant, v. TAI HO-ONE REALTY LLC, Respondent-Respondent.
Per Curiam.
Appeal from order (Dakota D. Ramseur, J.), entered November 21, 2019, dismissed, without costs.
"An appellant is obliged to assemble a proper record on appeal including the transcript, if any, of the proceedings" ( Sebag v. Narvaez , 60 AD3d 485 [2009], lv denied 13 NY3d 711 [2009] ); see CPLR 5526 ; CCA 1704 ). Dismissal of the appeal is warranted because appellant failed to include a transcript of the court's allocution of the subject stipulation of settlement, which was explicitly referenced by the motion court in the order appealed from (see Quezada v. Mensch Mgt. Inc. , 89 AD3d 647 [2011] ). Without the benefit of a proper record, meaningful appellate review of this matter is impossible (see Solovey v. Department of Educ. of the City of NY, 136 AD3d 441 [2016] ; Matter of Allstate Ins. Co. v. Vargas , 288 AD2d 309 [2001] ).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
