2002-11105.
Decided June 1, 2004.
In two related actions, inter alia, for an accounting, the nonparty Lloyd D. Feld appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Davis, J.), entered February 23, 2001, which denied his petition to impose a lien pursuant to Judiciary Law § 475.
Lloyd D. Feld, Armonk, N.Y., nonparty-appellant pro se.
Beck, Gewurz Strauss, PLLC, Garden City, N.Y., for respondent.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, HOWARD MILLER, WILLIAM F. MASTRO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly determined that the nonparty-appellant was not entitled to a lien pursuant to Judiciary Law § 475, as he failed to show that he was an attorney of record for the defendant Russell Zaccaria ( see Judiciary Law § 475; Rodriguez v. City of New York, 66 N.Y.2d 825, 827; D'Amico v. Nuzzo, 138 A.D.2d 667, 668; Matter of Barnum v. Srogi, 96 A.D.2d 723; Melzer v. 195 Broadway Corp., 18 A.D.2d 1108; Matter of Sebring, 238 A.D. 281).
We note that except to the extent that the Supreme Court's findings were necessary to determine whether Lloyd D. Feld was an attorney of record for Russell Zaccaria, the parties are not bound by the court's remaining findings.
RITTER, J.P., SMITH, H. MILLER and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
