Paul Vargas, respondent, v Turner Construction Company, et al., appellants. (Index No. 706087/2014)
| ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE |
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, entered June 19, 2017. The appellants perfected the appeal on March 8, 2018, the respondent filed a brief on April 6, 2018, and the appellants filed a reply brief on April 23, 2018. On January 2, 2020, this Court emailed the appellants' counsel to determine if any impediment prevented the calendaring of the appeal and the appellants' counsel did not respond. The matter was placed on the calendar and submitted on February 18, 2020. On August 7, 2020, in response to a request by this Court, the appellants' counsel advised this Court that the underlying action had settled. Subsequently, the parties advised this Court that the matter had been settled at a mediation and was marked off the Supreme Court trial calendar in November 2019, and that a stipulation of discontinuance had been filed in the underlying action on February 12, 2020.
Now, on the Court's own motion, it is
ORDERED that Malapero & Prisco, LLP, the appellants' attorney of record, now known as Malapero Prisco & Klauber, LLP, and Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, PLLC, the respondent's counsel, are directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered imposing such sanctions and/or costs, if any, against them pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1250.2(c) as this Court may deem appropriate, by electronically filing, via NYSCEF, an affirmation or affidavit on that issue in the office of the Clerk of this Court, on or before September 16, 2020; and it is further,
ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court, or her designee, is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause by uploading a copy of this order to show cause to the NYSCEF system.
DILLON, J.P., AUSTIN, LASALLE and BARROS, JJ., concur.
