Kenford Company, Inc. v. County of Erie

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 14, 1992
185 A.D.2d 658 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

July 14, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Fudeman, J.

Present — Lawton, J.P., Boehm, Davis and Doerr, JJ.


Appeal unanimously dismissed without costs. Memorandum: A motion must be addressed to a pending action, and Supreme Court was without jurisdiction to entertain a motion almost two years after final judgment was entered (see, Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. v. Great Bend Aggregates [appeal No. 2], 181 A.D.2d 998; Urso v. Panish, 94 A.D.2d 701). The entry of the final judgment terminated the action and all claims arising out of the same transactions are barred by well-settled principles of res judicata (see, O'Brien v. City of Syracuse, 54 N.Y.2d 353; Davie v. Dwyer, 155 A.D.2d 921; Matter of Doherty v. Cuomo, 76 A.D.2d 14, 20).
