Pauline LeBlanc, appellant,

v Theodore Budman et al., respondents.

(Appeal No. 2)

(Index No. 22494/98)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Separate motions by (1) Dani Tibor and Oser Kaszko and (2) Jeffrey K. Goldsmith and Martin E. Gunther on appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, entered February 25, 2004 (Appellate Division Docket No. 2004-05272), and a judgment of the same court dated August 9, 2004 (Appellate Division Docket No. 2004-09482), to dismiss the appeal from the judgment on the ground that appellate review of the judgment is precluded because the order entered February 25, 2004, constituted a "final" order in the action. By decision and order on motion of this court dated September 30, 2004, the appeal from the order insofar as asserted against Jeffrey K. Goldsmith and Martin E. Gunther was dismissed on the ground that the appeal as against those defendants was untimely taken.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motions and the papers filed in opposition and in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the appeal from the order is dismissed, without costs or disbursements as the order was superseded by the judgment (see Matter of Aho, 39 NY2d 241, 248); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motions are denied.
