PRESENT: WHALEN, P.J., CENTRA, NEMOYER, TROUTMAN, AND WINSLOW, JJ.
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Deborah A. Chimes, J.), entered August 28, 2020. The order denied the motion of defendant Rochester City School District to dismiss the complaint against it.
It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.
Memorandum: The Rochester City School District (defendant) appeals from an order denying its motion to dismiss the complaint against it." 'It is the obligation of the appellant to assemble a proper record on appeal. The record must contain all of the relevant papers that were before the Supreme Court'" (Fink v Al-Sar Realty Corp., 175 A.D.3d 1820, 1820 [4th Dept 2019]; see CPLR 5017 [b]; 5526; Mergl v Mergl, 19 A.D.3d 1146, 1147 [4th Dept 2005]). Here, defendant's appeal must be dismissed based on defendant's failure to include in the record the complaint, which it seeks to dismiss in its motion (see Fink, 175 A.D.3d at 1821).
