DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Application by the appellant pursuant to 22 NYCRR 670.8(d)(2) to enlarge the time to perfect an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated October 8, 2014. By order to show cause dated August 27, 2015, the parties were directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal in the above-entitled action on the ground that no appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of an appealing party.

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

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Queens County, to report on what papers that court considered in determining the motions that resulted in the order dated October 8, 2014, including, specifically, whether that court considered the affirmation of John A. Ciafone dated April 16, 2014, and any reply papers; the Supreme Court, Queens County, shall file its report with all convenient speed; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is held in abeyance in the interim; and it is further,

ORDERED that the application continues to be held in abeyance in the interim.

LEVENTHAL, J.P., ROMAN, HINDS-RADIX and BARROS, JJ., concur.
