DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

2016-1632 K C
Lenox Court HDFC, Respondent, v Nikki Sterling, Appellant.

Motion by appellant to vacate (1) a stipulation of settlement dated July 18, 2017, in which it was agreed, among other things, that appellant would withdraw an appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County, entered February 22, 2016, and (2), in effect, a withdrawal order of this court dated September 8, 2017.

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

ORDERED that the motion is denied without prejudice to appellant seeking to enforce the stipulation, or rescind it based on a material breach, in a proper forum.

We note that a mistake of law is not a sufficient ground for vacating a stipulation (see Varveris v Fisher, 229 AD2d 573 [1986]; Birchwood Towers No. 2 Assoc. v Schwartz, 98 AD2d 699 [1983]; 2 Carmody-Wait 2d § 7:61 at 250).
