Warburton v. Polito

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Sep 30, 1997
242 A.D.2d 979 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

September 30, 1997

Motion to vacate decision and for other relief denied.

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Hayes and Balio, JJ.


Petitioner has no cognizable basis for a CPLR article 78 proceeding because the relief that he seeks may be sought only on direct appeal. Petitioner may appeal from the order denying his motion to dismiss in the underlying action once an order has been entered and served. With respect to recusal of the Trial Judge in the underlying action, petitioner's remedy is to move for recusal and to appeal an adverse order, if any.
