Opinion
February 13, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Newmark, J.).
Ordered that the appeal from the order is dismissed; and it is further,
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from; and it is further,
Ordered that the respondents are awarded one bill of costs.
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 (see, CPLR 5501 [a] [1]).
Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, the court did not err in dismissing his cause of action for prima facie tort (see, Curiano v. Suozzi, 63 N.Y.2d 113; International Shared Servs. v County of Nassau, 222 A.D.2d 407).
We have reviewed the plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Santucci, J.P., Krausman, Goldstein and Florio, JJ., concur.
