Opinion
2009-555 N C.
Decided December 9, 2009.
Appeals from orders of the District Court of Nassau County, Third District (David Goodsell, J.), entered May 21, 2008 and November 26, 2008. The order entered May 21, 2008, insofar as appealed from as limited by the brief, denied without prejudice plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and, sua sponte, stayed the action. The order entered November 26, 2008 denied plaintiff's motion for leave to reargue and/or renew the prior motion.
ORDERED that, on the court's own motion, the notice of appeal from so much of the order entered May 21, 2008 as, sua sponte, stayed the action, is treated as an application for leave to appeal from that portion of the order, and leave to appeal from that portion of the order is granted ( see UDCA 1702 [c]); and it is further,
ORDERED that the order entered May 21, 2008, insofar as appealed from, is reversed without costs, the provisions thereof which denied without prejudice plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and, sua sponte, stayed the action are stricken, and the matter is remitted to the District Court for a determination on the merits of plaintiff's motion for summary judgment; and it is further,
ORDERED that the appeal from the order entered November 26, 2008 is dismissed.
