DECISION

Motion by defendant for leave to file a late notice of appeal is granted and a copy of defendant's subject moving papers shall be filed in the court below by defendant, as the equivalent of a notice of appeal, within 30 days of the date of the order hereon.

Bank, 94 AD2d 710 [1983]; Anthony v Schofield, 265 App Div 423 [1943]) and defendant's omission to timely file a notice of appeal in the court below may be cured (CPLR 5520 [a]).
