Diamond & Diamond LLC, New York (Stuart Diamond of counsel), for appellant. Gallo Vitucci & Klar LLP, New York (Kimberly A. Ricciardi of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Joan M. Kenney, J.), entered September 13, 2013, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, sua sponte precluded plaintiff from offering at trial the testimony of three nonparty witnesses, unanimously dismissed, without costs.
The part of the court's order that was entered sua sponte is not appealable as of right ( see Ning–Yen Yao v. Yao, 88 A.D.3d 462, 462–463, 930 N.Y.S.2d 440 [1st Dept.2011]; see also Sholes v. Meagher, 100 N.Y.2d 333, 335, 763 N.Y.S.2d 522, 794 N.E.2d 664 [2003]; CPLR 5701[a][2],[3] ). We decline to grant leave to appeal ( cf. Ning–Yen, 88 A.D.3d at 462–463, 930 N.Y.S.2d 440; seeCPLR 5701[c] ). MAZZARELLI, J.P., SWEENY, ANDRIAS, MOSKOWITZ, RICHTER, JJ., concur.
