Appeal from two orders of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Noach
Dear, J.), both dated June 14, 2010. The orders, respectively, denied plaintiff's motion for
summary judgment and dismissed the complaint without prejudice.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
The appeal from the order dismissing the complaint without prejudice is dismissed, as no appeal as of right lies from either a sua sponte order (see CCA 1702 [a] [2]; Sholes v Meagher, 100 NY2d 333 [2003]) or an order which does not determine a motion made on notice (see CCA 1702; Wright v Stam, 81 AD3d 721 [2011]), and leave to appeal has not been granted. In light of the dismissal of the complaint, the appeal from the order denying plaintiff's motion for summary judgment must be dismissed as academic (see Livny v Rotella, 305 AD2d 377 [2003]). We note that plaintiff is not without remedies, including the commencement of a new action or causing a judgment to be entered dismissing this action and appealing therefrom.
Steinhardt, J.P., Pesce and Weston, JJ., concur.
