Opinion
June 24, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Gowan, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
It is well settled that no appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the appealing party ( see, CPLR 5511; Matter of Paulucci v. Baer, 215 A.D.2d 662; Murphy v. Murphy, 212 A.D.2d 583; Kelly v. Long Is. Coll. Hosp., 199 A.D.2d 244). The plaintiffs' failure to appear at the certification conference constituted a default, and the proper procedure to challenge the dismissal is a motion to vacate the default (see, Kelly v. Long Is. Coll. Hosp., supra). O'Brien, J.P., Ritter, Pizzuto and Altman, JJ., concur.
