v Vault, et al., respondents.

(Index No. 31179/01)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondents to dismiss an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated August 4, 2005, on the ground that the appeal is barred by the doctrine of Bray v Cox (38 NY2d 350), as this appeal raises issues which could have been raised on an appeal from an order of the same court dated May 24, 2004, which was dismissed by decision and order on motion of this court dated May 10, 2005.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is denied, without prejudice to raising the issue in the respondents' brief.

CRANE, J.P., RIVERA, SKELOS and LIFSON, JJ., concur.
