2014-06421, 2014-06649 In the Matter of Patrick Valencia, appellant, v Belgica Ripley, respondent. (Docket No. V-11623-08/13A)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by Patrick Valencia on appeals from an order of the Family Court, Nassau County, dated July 1, 2014, and a corrected order of the same court dated July 2, 2014, for leave to appeal to this Court from the order dated July 1, 2014, and, in effect, to stay enforcement of so much of the order dated July 1, 2014, as disqualified his attorney, pending hearing and determination of the appeal from that order.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition and in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for leave to appeal from the order dated July 1, 2014, is denied as unnecessary as the order is appealable as of right (see Family Ct Act § 1112); and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is, in effect, to stay enforcement of so much of the order dated July 1, 2014, as disqualified Patrick Valencia's attorney is granted and enforcement of that portion of the order is stayed, pending hearing and determination of the appeals.

RIVERA, J.P., DICKERSON, CHAMBERS and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
