Argued November 20, 2001.
December 10, 2001.
In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for personal injuries and wrongful death, the plaintiff appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Ponterio, J.), dated June 7, 2001, as, upon granting the motion of her attorney to be relieved, required successor counsel to serve and file a notice of appearance within 45 days after the date of service of the order or the action would be marked dismissed.
ROBERT A. MULHALL, Staten Island, N.Y., for appellant.
STRONGIN ROTHMAN ABRAMS, LLP, New York, N.Y. (ANNETTE G. HASAPIDIS of counsel), for respondent Tandy Corporation, d/b/a Radio Shack.
Before: SONDRA MILLER, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, THOMAS A. ADAMS, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, with costs.
The plaintiff did not submit any opposition to her attorney's motion to be relieved. As such, she is not aggrieved by the order and thus this appeal must be dismissed (see, Matter of State Farm Ins. Co. v. Eagle Ins. Co., 266 A.D.2d 397; Keemer v. Faith New Testament Fellowship, 232 A.D.2d 373; Permagile-Salmon, Ltd. v. Manshul Constr. Corp., 204 A.D.2d 296). Moreover, the plaintiff reportedly acquiesced in her attorney's application to be relieved. Thus, insofar as the order was entered on her consent, it is not appealable for this reason as well (see, Weekley v. Weekley, 284 A.D.2d 530; Matter of Benerofe v. Wechsler, 281 A.D.2d 476; Matter of Garcia v. Carballo, 277 A.D.2d 453).
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
S. MILLER, J.P., FRIEDMANN, ADAMS and COZIER, JJ., concur.
