Mariana Lanc, appellant, v

Michael Donnelly, et al., respondents.

(Index Nos. 478/88, 6971/91)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondents, inter alia, to dismiss an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County, dated June 20, 2002, for failure to timely perfect the same in accordance with the rules of this court, to strike the appellant's appendix as inadequate, or, in the alternative, for an enlargement of time to serve and file a brief. Cross motion by the appellant, inter alia, to vacate the order dated June 20, 2002, and a subsequent judgment of the same court dated October 24, 2002, for leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person, to waive the requirements of 22 NYCRR 670.9(d)(2) that the appellant subpoena from the Supreme Court, Rockland County, all the papers constituting the record on appeal, and for leave to serve and file an oversized brief.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and 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 dated June 20, 2002, is deemed to be a premature notice of appeal from the judgment dated October 24, 2002; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the cross motion which is to waive the requirements of 22 NYCRR 670.9(d)(2) that the appellant subpoena from the Supreme Court, Rockland County, all the papers constituting the record on appeal is granted; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the Clerk of this court, or his designee, is directed to obtain all the papers constituting the record on appeal from the Supreme Court, Rockland County; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branches of the cross motion which are to serve and file an oversized brief and for poor person relief are denied as academic, as the appellant has filed a brief which complies with the rules of this court and paid the filing fee; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for an enlargement of time is granted, the respondent's time to serve and file a brief is enlarged until April 12, 2004, and the respondent's brief must be served and filed on or before that date; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion and cross motion are otherwise denied.

Appeal purportedly taken by C. Robinson & Associates, P.C., from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated October 16, 2002.

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

ORDERED that the appellants' time to perfect the appeal is enlarged until March 24, 2004, and the record or appendix on the appeal and the appellants' brief must be served and filed on or before that date.

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondent to dismiss an appeal from an order of the Family Court, Kings County, dated November 19, 2002, on the grounds that no appeal lies from so much of the order as denied reargument and no appeal lies as of right from so much of the order that is not a final order of disposition.

ORDERED that the motion is denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the time of the respondent and the Law Guardian to serve and file briefs is enlarged until April 12, 2004, and those briefs must be served and filed on or before that date.
