Alim Hodzic, appellant,

v Esat Astafovic, et al., respondents.

(Index No. 2637/03)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeal by the plaintiff from a decision of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated August 24, 2006. The appellant and the respondent Esat Astafovic died during the pendency of the appeal and no substitutions have been made. By order to show cause dated June 4, 2007, as amended June 8, 2007, the parties to the appeal and the persons interested in the estate of the deceased parties thereto were directed to show cause why an order should not be made pursuant to CPLR 1021 dismissing the appeal for failure to effect timely substitution.

Upon the court's own motion and upon the papers filed in response thereto, it is

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as no appeal lies from a decision (see Schicchi v Green Constr. Corp., 100 AD2d 509); and it is further,

ORDERED that the order to show cause to dismiss the appeal is denied as academic.

CRANE, J.P., ANGIOLILLO, CARNI and McCARTHY, JJ., concur.

Clerk of the Court
