Opinion
October 17, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Sherman, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The appearance of retained counsel on behalf of the infant plaintiffs before this court is in contravention of CPLR 321 and 1201 and is without legal effect (see, Leahy v Hardy, 225 App. Div. 323). Hence, the appeal is not properly before this court and must be dismissed (see, Caruso v Caputo, 143 A.D.2d 795 [decided herewith]; Matter of Anonymous v Anonymous, 7 A.D.2d 932). Kooper, J.P., Sullivan, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
