ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the appellant's appendix is inadequate is denied without prejudice to the respondent filing his own appendix; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to enlarge the respondent's time to serve and file a brief is granted, the respondent's time to serve and file a brief is enlarged until January 23, 2017, and the respondent's brief must be served and filed on or before that date; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied; and it is further,
