Matter of Aetna Cas. and Sur. Co. v. Serrano

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 9, 1992
181 A.D.2d 731 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

March 9, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (O'Shaughnessy, J.).


Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The petitioner's motion "for an order enforcing" the order dated July 24, 1989, was returnable February 16, 1990, and contained a demand that answering papers be served five days before the return date (see, CPLR 2214 [b]). However, the answering papers were not served until March 2, 1990. The court refused to consider the untimely papers and granted the petitioner's motion upon the respondent's default in opposing the motion. Since no appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the appealing party, the appeal must be dismissed (see, CPLR 5511; Matter of Mitchell v Morris, 177 A.D.2d 579; Katz v Katz, 68 A.D.2d 536). Thompson, J.P., Sullivan, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
