Michael G. Dolin, etc., respondent,

v Melvyn Roth, appellant.

(Index No. 22051/98)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

The defendant, Melvyn Roth, having appealed to this court from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated June 20, 2003, and having perfected the appeal on September 12, 2003, and no brief having been filed by the respondent, the matter was placed on this court's calendar for April 1, 2004. By letter dated March 29, 2004, counsel for the appellant advised this court that the parties had resolved the issue raised on this appeal and that the appellant wished to withdraw the appeal. A stipulation to that effect was annexed to the letter, however, the stipulation was dated December 3, 2003. By order to show cause dated May 7, 2004, the parties or their counsel were directed to show cause before this court why an order should or should not be made and entered imposing such sanctions and/or costs, if any, against the parties to the appeal or their respective counsel pursuant to 22 NYCRR 670.2(g) as this court may deem appropriate.

Now, on the court's own motion and upon the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that within 20 days after the service upon them of a copy of this decision and order on motion, the law firm of Rubin & Purcell, LLP, counsel for the appellant, and Thomas Liotti, counsel for the respondent, are each directed to pay a sanction in the sum of $500 to the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection of the State of New York (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.1[b]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Queens County, shall enter judgment accordingly (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.2); and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of this court, or his designee, shall serve a copy of this decision and order on motion upon counsel for the parties by regular mail.

Section 670.2(g) of the rules of this court provides, in relevant part, that "[i]f a cause or the underlying action or proceeding is wholly or partially settled * * * or if any cause should not be calendared * * * for some other reason, the parties or their counsel shall immediately notify the court," and "[a]ny attorney or party who, without good cause shown, fails to comply with the requirements of this subdivision shall be subject to the imposition of such costs and/or sanctions as the court may direct" (22 NYCRR 670.2[g]).

Under the circumstances the parties' failure to promptly advise this court that the issues raised on the appeal had been rendered academic warrants imposition of sanctions in the amounts indicated.

SANTUCCI, J.P., ALTMAN, S. MILLER and GOLDSTEIN, JJ., concur.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is granted and enforcement of the order dated April 29, 2004, and enforcement of any judgment entered upon the order, is stayed pending hearing and determination of the appeal on condition that the appeal is perfected on or before July 6, 2004, and on further condition that the sum of $27,900, representing the down payment paid by the defendant, be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account with the plaintiffs' attorneys pending hearing and determination of the appeal; and it is further,

ORDERED that in the event the appeal is not perfected on or before July 6, 2004, or the down payment is not placed in an interest-bearing escrow account pending hearing and determination of the appeal, the court, on its own motion, may vacate the stay, or the respondent may move to vacate the stay, on three days notice.
