(Index No. 1540/07)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the petitioners-respondents to dismiss an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated December 31, 2007, on the ground that the judgment is not appealable as of right and leave to appeal has not been granted (see CPLR 5701 [b][1]), or to direct the appellants to perfect the appeal within 30 days as a condition of continuing any automatic stay which may be in effect pursuant to CPLR 5519(a)(1).

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 is denied as the judgment is appealable as of right; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to direct the appellants to perfect the appeal within 30 days as a condition of continuing any automatic stay pursuant to CPLR 5519(a)(1) is denied as unnecessary as no automatic stay exists (see Matter of Pokoik v Department of Health Servs. of County of Suffolk, 220 AD2d 13).
