DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

2066-18/KI
2019-837 K C
Daryl C. Smith, Appellant, v Kareema Murphy McDowell, Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County, entered March 6, 2019. The order, upon a motion by respondent to vacate a judgment of that court entered October 15, 2018 upon respondent's default under a stipulation of settlement, sua sponte dismissed the complaint.

On the court's own motion, it is

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, as no appeal as of right lies from a sua sponte order (see CCA 1702 [a] [2]; CPLR 2211; Sholes v Meagher, 100 NY2d 333 [2003]), and leave to appeal has not been granted.

Plaintiff's remedy, if he be so advised, is to appeal from the Civil Court's order dated May 10, 2019, which denied his motion, in effect, to vacate the sua sponte order.

ENTER:

Paul Kenny

Chief Clerk
