Opinion

2005-590 K C.

Decided February 1, 2006.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Jack M. Battaglia, J.), entered February 28, 2005. The order granted defendant's motion for summary judgment to the extent of dismissing the action without prejudice to an enforcement proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 52.

Appeal dismissed.

PRESENT:: PESCE, P.J., WESTON PATTERSON and BELEN, JJ

Plaintiff's failure to submit papers in opposition to defendant's motion for summary judgment constitutes a default, and no appeal lies from an order entered under such circumstances ( see Viggiani v. Grodotzke, 306 AD2d 273; Najac v. George V. Marinello Used Trucks, Inc., 5 Misc 3d 128 [A], 2004 NY Slip 51252[U] [App Term, 2d 11th Jud Dists]; see also CPLR 5511).

Pesce, P.J., Weston Patterson and Belen, JJ., concur.
