DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

2019-06973

Scott Petersen, et al., appellants,

v Forest City Ratner, et al., respondents.

(Index No. 20679/12)

Motion by the respondent Drywall & Acoustics of Northeast, Inc., to dismiss an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated May 18, 2018, on the ground that the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated upon entry in the above-entitled action of a judgment of the same court entered May 20, 2019, or, in the alternative, to extend the time to serve and file a brief. Cross motion by the appellants to consolidate the appeals from the order and the judgment entered May 20, 2019.

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

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the notice of appeal from the order is deemed to be a premature notice of appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated July 10, 2019, and entered in the above-entitled action (see CPLR 5520[c]), and on or before December 6, 2019, the appellants shall serve and file a supplemental record containing the judgment dated July 10, 2019; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to extend the time of the respondent Drywall & Acoustics of Northeast, Inc., to serve and file a brief is granted, the time of the respondent Drywall & Acoustics of Northeast, Inc., to serve and file a brief in connection with the appeal from the judgment dated July 10, 2019, is extended until January 6, 2020, and the brief shall be served and filed on or before that date; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeal and the cross motion are denied.

RIVERA, J.P., AUSTIN, MILLER and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
