(Index No. 15308/02)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellants, inter alia, to recall and vacate so much of a decision and order on motion of this court, entitled "In the Matter of the Dismissal of Causes for Failure to Perfect - October 2004 Calendar," dated November 3, 2004, which dismissed an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated February 23, 2004, pursuant to 22 NYCRR 670.8(e) for failure to timely perfect the same, to reinstate the appeal, to enlarge the time to perfect the appeal, to consolidate the appeal with appeals from a judgment and an order of the same court entered May 27, 2004, and dated June 21, 2004, respectively, and to stay enforcement of the order dated June 21, 2004. Cross motion by the respondents Rockville Country Club, Inc., Walter Josiah, Robert Matthews, Anthony Mauro, James Gomiela, Jack Tenenbaum, Anthony Zotollo, Robert Miceli, Donald Runacres, Patrick Lerza, Peter Miller, Eugene Cardoza, James Gemino, Steven Smith, Edward Paternostro, Nicholas Balzano, Daniel Lennon, Patrick Lagudi, Edward Roger, and Peter Doran to dismiss the appeal from the judgment, on the ground that appellate review of the judgment is precluded by the doctrine of Bray v Cox (38 NY2d 350).

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the cross motion, and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, so much of the decision and order on motion of this court dated November 3, 2004, as dismissed the appeal from the order dated February 23, 2004, is recalled and vacated, and that appeal is reinstated; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the appeal from the order dated February 23, 2004, is dismissed, without costs of disbursements, because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action (see Matter of Aho, 39 NY2d 241, 248); and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to consolidate the appeal from the judgment with the appeal from the order dated June 21, 2004, is denied as unnecessary as the appeals may be consolidated as of right (see 22 NYCRR 670.7 [c][1]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that the cross motion is denied.

By subsequent decision and order of this court dated April 25, 1997, the respondent's motion for renewal and reargument of his second application for reinstatement or for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals was denied. By decision and order of this court dated October 30, 2000, his third application for reinstatement was denied.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers submitted in response thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is denied.
