White v. White

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 15, 1996
226 A.D.2d 525 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

April 15, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Milano, J.).


Ordered that the appeal from the order dated November 28, 1994, is dismissed, as no appeal lies from an order made upon the default of the aggrieved party ( see, Katz v. Katz, 68 A.D.2d 536); and it is further,

Ordered that the order dated April 26, 1995, is reversed, on the law, the motion to vacate the order dated November 28, 1994, is granted, that order is vacated, and the wife's application is deemed abandoned; and it is further,

Ordered that the husband is awarded one bill of costs.

Under the circumstances of this case, where the wife did not comply with the timeliness requirement set forth in 22 NYCRR 202.48 for submitting her proposed order to the court and failed to show good cause for the delay, the Supreme Court improvidently exercised its discretion in failing to deem the wife's application abandoned and in further failing to grant the husband's motion to vacate the order which restrained him from selling the marital residence and awarded her attorneys' fees ( see, Pena v. City of New York, 192 A.D.2d 493). Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Altman, JJ., concur.
