v New York Methodist Hospital, defendant,

Ditmas Care Center, appellant.

(Index No. 3367/09)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeals by Ditmas Care Center from two orders of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated March 21, 2012, and May 7, 2012, respectively. By order to show cause dated February 6, 2013, the parties or their attorneys were directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered (1) dismissing the appeal from the order dated March 21, 2012, on the ground that the notice of appeal was filed in violation of the statutory stay of proceedings, which arose upon the death of Hyacinth Adams, and (2) vacating the order dated May 7, 2012, as a nullity, and dismissing the appeal from that order.

Now, upon the order to show cause and the papers filed in response thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is granted; and it is further,

ORDERED that the appeal from the order dated March 21, 2012, is dismissed, without costs or disbursements (see CPLR 1015[a]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the order dated May 7, 2012, is vacated and the appeal from that order is dismissed, without costs or disbursements (see CPLR 1015; Matter of Einstoss, 26 NY2d 181).

RIVERA, J.P., DICKERSON, LEVENTHAL and HALL, JJ., concur.
