On consolidated appeals, tenant appeals from 1) a final judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Pam Jackman-Brown, J.), entered July 7, 2008, after a nonjury trial, which awarded landlord possession and a recovery of rent arrears in the sum of $2,402.32 in a nonpayment summary proceeding, and 2) an order of the same court (Gary F. Marton, J.), entered September 8, 2008, which granted landlord's motion for summary judgment on its possessory cause of action in a holdover summary proceeding.

Per Curiam.

Appeal from final judgment (Pam Jackman-Brown, J.), entered July 7, 2008, dismissed, without costs, for failure to properly perfect the appeal. Order (Gary F. Marton, J.), entered September 8, 2008, affirmed, without costs.

An appellant is obliged to assemble a proper record on appeal, including the transcript, if any, of the proceedings (see CPLR 5526). The pro se appellant's failure to include in the record before us the transcript of the trial held in connection with the nonpayment summary proceeding renders meaningful appellate review of that matter impossible (see Allstate Ins. Co. v Vargas, 288 AD2d 309, 310 [2001]).

We sustain the grant of landlord's motion for summary judgment on the ensuing holdover petition, tenant having failed to advance any cognizable claim to continued possession of the unregulated apartment premises.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
