Opinion
2009-623 Q C.
Decided July 7, 2010.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
PRESENT: WESTON, J.P., RIOS and STEINHARDT, JJ.
Landlord commenced this residential nonpayment proceeding to recover, inter alia, $2,293.60 in arrears. Tenant failed to appear or answer, and a final judgment was entered awarding landlord possession only. Tenant was subsequently evicted and, thereafter, moved to be restored to possession. The motion was granted on condition that tenant pay landlord the sum of $5,341.80, which included all arrears plus legal fees in the sum of $988. It appears that tenant was restored to possession after landlord accepted payment of the arrears. The instant appeal by landlord ensued.
By accepting the benefit of the order appealed from, landlord waived its right to appeal from the order ( see Williams v Hearburg, 245 AD2d 794; HPS Holdings Co., LLC v Al Assoc., LLC , 10 Misc 3d 135 [A], 2005 NY Slip Op 52103[U] [App Term, 2d 11th Jud Dists 2005]). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
Weston, J.P., Rios and Steinhardt, JJ., concur.
