v Shahnaz Orner, et al., appellants.

(Index No. 501/02)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondents, inter alia, to dismiss an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dated May 19, 2005, on the ground that the appellant Debra Cachura died prior to the issuance of the order and no personal representative had been substituted.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeal by Debra Cachura is granted, and that the appeal by Debra Cachura is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, on the ground that the order is a nullity as to her (see Re v Ernst & Whinney, 236 AD2d 458); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied.

CRANE, J.P., KRAUSMAN, RIVERA and DILLON, JJ., concur.
