On the Court's own motion, it is

ORDERED that the parties are directed to show cause before this Court why an order should not be made and entered (1) dismissing the appeal on the ground that the notice of appeal was filed in violation of the statutory stay of proceedings which arose upon the death of the respondent John Gravagna on August 3, 2017 (see CPLR 1015[a]; JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. v Rosemberg, 90 AD3d 713); and (2) vacating the order as a nullity (see CPLR 1015; Matter of Einstoss, 26 NY2d 181), by serving and filing, via NYSCEF, a digital copy of an affirmation or an affidavit on that issue on or before June 1, 2026; and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court, or his designee, is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause upon counsel by uploading a copy of this order to show cause to the NYSCEF system.

LASALLE, P.J., DILLON, DUFFY, BARROS and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
