Paul Revere Life Insurance Co. v. Campagna

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Nov 8, 1996
233 A.D.2d 954 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

November 8, 1996.

Appeal unanimously dismissed without costs.

Before: Present — Denman, P.J., Fallon, Wesley, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Plaintiff appeals from an order denying its motion pursuant to CPLR 4404 (b) to vacate a decision awarding attorney's fees to defendant and directing defendant's counsel to submit an affirmation of services. Prior to argument of the motion, defendant's counsel submitted an affidavit of services, and Supreme Court granted judgment to defendant for the entire amount of attorney's fees requested. This Court dismissed plaintiffs appeal from the judgment as untimely. Two months after signing the judgment, the court denied plaintiffs motion.

The dismissal of plaintiffs appeal from the judgment bars this appeal because the issues raised herein were, or could have been, raised on the prior appeal ( see, Bray v Cox, 38 NY2d 350, 353; KTM Partnership-I v 160 W. 86th St. Partners, 169 AD2d 462). Although the order on appeal was entered after entry of the final judgment, that order is subsumed in the judgment and the right to appeal directly therefrom terminated ( see, Dietz Intl. Pub. Adjusters v Frankart Distribs., 157 AD2d 625). (Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Monroe County, Lunn, J. — Attorney's Fees.)
