DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondent to dismiss an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated July 23, 2004, for failure to perfect in accordance with the rules of this court, and on the ground that the order was superceded by a judgment of the same court dated August 16, 2004, from which no appeal has been taken.

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeal from the order on the ground that the order was superseded by the judgment is granted (see Matter of Aho, 39 NY2d 241, 248); the issues raised on the appeal from the order are brought up for review and shall be considered on the appeal from the judgment (see CPLR 5501[a][1]); and it is further,
