Now, on the court's own motion, it is
ORDERED that the appellant and the respondent or their counsel are directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered imposing such sanctions and/or costs, if any, against the appellant and the respondent or their respective counsel pursuant to 22 NYCRR 730.3 (f) as this Court may deem appropriate by each filing an affirmation or affidavit on that issue in the office of the Clerk of this Court and serving one copy of the same on all parties to the action on or before March 1, 2016.
