Opinion
October 19, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Seidell, J.).
Ordered that the appeal from the order dated June 2, 1997, is dismissed; and it is further,
Ordered that the judgment entered June 20, 1997, is affirmed; and it is further,
Ordered that the order dated August 20, 1997, is affirmed; and it is further,
Ordered that the respondents are awarded one bill of costs.
The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action ( see, Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment ( see, CPLR 5501 [a] [1].
The appellant's claims are either barred by the doctrine of res judicata ( see, Wasserman v. Harriman, 234 A.D.2d 596; D.C.I. Danaco Contrs. v. Associated Univs., 248 A.D.2d 663) or are without merit.
