DECISION & ORDER

In an action pursuant to RPAPL article 15 to determine adverse claims to real property, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Steven I. Milligram, J.), dated February 10, 2020. The order denied the plaintiff's motion to preliminarily enjoin the defendant City of Middletown from transferring title to a parcel of real property located at 35 Maple Drive in Middletown, and compelling that defendant to provide a redemption figure for an unpaid tax lien on that property.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
