Opinion
Argued November 8, 1999.
July 3, 2000.
In an action to recover damages for wrongful death, the defendants appeal from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Vinik, J.), dated April 12, 1996, as granted the plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of liability.
Jones Hirsch Connors Bull, P.C., New York, N.Y. (Steven H. Kaplan and James F. Creighton of counsel), for appellants.
Richard Frank, P.C., New York, N.Y. (Kathleen Peratis, P.C., of counsel), for respondents.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., DANIEL W. JOY, ANITA R. FLORIO, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal from the order is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action (see, Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment (CPLR 5501[a][1]; see, Altmajer v. Morley, 274 A.D.2d 364 [Appellate Division Docket No. 1999-00507, decided herewith]).
