PRESENT: MICHAEL L. PESCE, P.J., MICHELLE WESTON, DAVID ELLIOT, JJ.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
In this small claims action to recover the principal sum of $4,091.32 for services rendered, Mark A. Lowe (defendant) appeals from an order of the Civil Court which denied his motion for summary judgment dismissing the action.
The denial of a motion for summary judgment in a small claims action does not constitute a denial of substantial justice within the meaning of CCA 1807, since the only effect of the order is to require the parties to proceed to trial (see Shaw v. Okenwa , 36 Misc 3d 154[A], 2012 NY Slip Op. 51720[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2012]; Sporten v. Davis , 31 Misc 3d 151[A], 2011 NY Slip Op. 51122[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2011]; Feinstein v. Lagios , 12 Misc 3d 128[A], 2006 NY Slip Op. 50917[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d & 11th Jud Dists 2006] ). Consequently, no appeal lies from the order denying defendant's motion.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
PESCE, P.J., WESTON and ELLIOT, JJ., concur.
