Appeal from decision, Supreme Court, Bronx County (John A. Barone, J.), entered March 12, 2012, which denied plaintiff's motion, pursuant to CPLR 4404(a), seeking to set aside the verdict and a new trial on the issue of liability, and directed the parties to settle judgment on notice, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as taken from a nonappealable paper.

The appeal is dismissed, as no appeal lies from a decision, or an appealed paper directing the settlement of a judgment ( seeCPLR 5512[a]; Gunn v. Palmieri, 86 N.Y.2d 830, 634 N.Y.S.2d 435, 658 N.E.2d 212 [1995];Leser v. Penido, 96 A.D.3d 578, 947 N.Y.S.2d 441 [1st Dept. 2012] ). Moreover, plaintiff's right to a direct appeal from any order denying a motion to set aside the verdict terminated with the entry of a judgment ( seeCPLR 5501; Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248, 383 N.Y.S.2d 285, 347 N.E.2d 647 [1976] ).

ANDRIAS, J.P., SWEENY, FREEDMAN, FEINMAN, GISCHE, JJ., concur.
