Appeal
- Appealable Paper
- Decision
Appeal from a decision of the Family Court, Wayne County (Arthur B. Williams, J.), entered October 10, 2024, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6. The decision, among other things, modified the visitation provisions of a prior order.
It is hereby ordered that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.
Memorandum: In this proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, respondent father purports to appeal from a document denominated "Memorandum-Decision" that modified the visitation provisions of a prior order of custody and visitation. We dismiss the appeal. "[N]o appeal lies from a [mere] decision" (Gunn v Palmieri, 86 NY2d 830, 830 [1995]; see Garcia v Town of Tonawanda, 194 AD3d 1479, 1479-1480 [4th Dept 2021]). The document here is, on its face, a mere decision (see generally CPLR 2219 [a]), and it states in the penultimate sentence that petitioner "shall draft and submit a proposed [o]rder consistent with this decision" (see Pino v Harnischfeger, 42 AD3d 980, 982 [4th Dept 2007]). Present—Curran, J.P., Bannister, Smith, Ogden and DelConte, JJ.
