HEADNOTES


Appeal - Records and Briefs on Appeal - Failure to Provide Adequate Record

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Gerald J. Greenan, III, J.), entered May 8, 2024. The order denied plaintiff damages following an inquest.

It is hereby ordered that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum: Plaintiff appeals pro se from an order that denied her damages following an inquest. The record on appeal, however, does not contain sufficient information to determine whether damages were properly denied following the inquest inasmuch as the transcript of the inquest and any exhibits entered during the inquest were not included as part of the record. The appeal must be dismissed based on plaintiff's failure to provide an adequate record to permit meaningful appellate review (see Walker v County of Monroe, 216 AD3d 1429, 1429 [4th Dept 2023]). Plaintiff, "as the appellant, . . . must suffer the consequences of submitting an incomplete record" (Curto v Zittel's Dairy Farm, 106 AD3d 1482, 1484 [4th Dept 2013] [internal quotation marks omitted]). Present—Curran, J.P., Bannister, Ogden, DelConte and Hannah, JJ.
