| Paul Kim, Appellant, v Jonathan Francis et al., Respondents, et al., Defendants. Sunshine Isaacson & Hecht, LLP, Nonparty Appellant. |
Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP, New York (Kenneth Gorman of counsel), for appellants.
Foster Garvey, PC, New York (Kara Steger of counsel), for respondents.
Appeals from orders, Supreme Court, New York County (Andrea Masley, J.), entered January 17, 2020 and on or about April 14, 2020, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, respectively, granted defendants' request for sanctions and directed plaintiff's attorney, Jeffrey A. Sunshine, Esq., to pay the amount of $3,562.50 to defendant Gerard Adams, unanimously dismissed, without costs, for failure to perfect.
Appellants failed to file proof of service of the record and their brief on defendant Adams. Thus, they failed to perfect the appeals (see Rules of App Div, 1st Dept [22 NYCRR] § 1250.9 [a] [1]). Moreover, appellants offered neither excuse nor explanation, despite the fact that the appearing defendants raised appellants' failure in their respondents' brief. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals on our own motion (see Zetlin v Hanson Holdings, 63 AD2d 878 [1st Dept 1978]; Tonkonogy v Jaffin, 21 AD2d 264, 267 [1st Dept 1964]).
