Goldin v. Levy

1 Citing case

  1. Iacovacci v. Brevet Holdings, LLC

    2022 N.Y. Slip Op. 7190 (N.Y. App. Div. 2022)

    The issues raised on appeal are not appealable as of right (see generally CPLR 5701[a]). The order on appeal did not "affect[] a substantial right" of defendants because it did not decide the motion for contempt as to them, instead holding it in abeyance pending a hearing (CPLR 5701[a][2][v]; see Goldin v Levy, 192 A.D.3d 478, 479 [1st Dept 2021]). Although the order encompassed a finding that the underlying conduct of defendants' counsel, from which defendants' potential liability derived, constituted contempt, "findings of fact and conclusions of law are not independently appealable" (Baez v First Liberty Ins. Corp., 95 A.D.3d 1250, 1250 [2d Dept 2012]).
