Louis Rosemarin, respondent,

v Village of Cedarhurst, et al., appellants.

(Index No. 18232/01)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

The defendants, Village of Cedarhurst and Bocker Enterprises Incorporated, having appealed to this court from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated November 20, 2003, having filed a record on the appeals on January 15, 2004, and having filed their separate briefs on March 1, 2004, and no brief having been filed by the respondent, the matter was placed on this court's calendar for June 1, 2004. On May 21, 2004, counsel for the appellants notified this court that the parties had settled the action and that the appellants wished to withdraw their respective appeals. By letter dated May 21, 2004, counsel for the appellant Village of Cedarhurst advised this court that the matter had been settled on February 27, 2004, and by separate letter, also dated May 21, 2004, counsel for the appellant Bocker Enterprises Incorporated advised this court that the action had been settled on February 22, 2004. By order to show cause dated June 28, 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 firms of Greenfield & Reilly, counsel for the appellant Village of Cedarhurs, and Gorton & Gorton, LLP, counsel for the appellant Bocker Enterprises Incorporated, 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, Nassau 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 action had been settled warrants imposition of sanctions in the amounts indicated.
