Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C., New York (Jeffrey R. Metz of counsel), for appellants. Axelrod, Fingerhut & Dennis, New York (David L. Fingerhut of counsel), for MH Residential 1, LLC, respondent.
Appeal from an order of the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court, First Department, entered December 28, 2011, which, in consolidated summary holdover proceedings, reversed an order of the Civil Court, New York County (Brenda S. Spears, J.), entered on or about June 16, 2011, granting respondents-appellants tenants' motion to disqualify petitioner-respondent landlord's counsel, unanimously dismissed, without costs.
Pending the present appeal, the holdover proceedings were separately tried, resulting in final judgments entered in landlord's favor. The right to appeal from the intermediate order does not survive entry of the final judgments ( see Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248, 383 N.Y.S.2d 285, 347 N.E.2d 647 [1976];Jema Props. v. McLeod, 51 A.D.2d 702, 388 N.Y.S.2d 872 [1st Dept. 1976] ).
