DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

2018-2061 Q C
Herbert McMillian, Appellant, v Verizon Corporate Office, Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County, entered August 8, 2017, a small claims judgment of that court entered August 8, 2017, and a September 1, 2017 refusal by that court to sign an order to show cause. The notice of appeal was filed on March 1, 2018.

On the court's own motion, it is

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.

So much of the appeal as is from the order entered August 8, 2017 denying appellant's motion to transfer the small claims action to the Supreme Court is dismissed on the ground that any right of direct appeal from that order terminated with the entry of the judgment following the trial on that date (see Matter of Aho, 39 NY2d 241, 248 [1976]). So much of the appeal as was taken from the judgment is dismissed as untimely (see CCA 1703 [b]). No appeal lies from a refusal to sign an order to show cause (see CCA 1702 [a] [2]; Matter of Allah v Scheinman, 61 NY2d 755 [1984]).
