taken to that court, dismissed upon the

lies from an Appellate Division order
dismissing an appeal from a decision of

not finally determine the action within
the meaning of the Constitution. The
judgment, the appeal from which was
dismissed by the Appellate Division,
entered pursuant to the parties' stipula-
tion, does not constitute a final judgment
because the stipulation was entered into
"without prejudice" (see, Herzfeld &
Stern, Inc. v Beck, 82 NY2d 789; Russo
v New York Life Ins. Co., 95 NY2d 847).

v.

Motion for leave to appeal dismissed upon
the ground that the Appellate Division
order, from which no appeal was properly
taken or motion for leave to appeal was
properly made, was the final appealable
paper as its remittal was for purely
ministerial action (see, Karger, Powers
of the New York Court of Appeals, § 17,
at 79-80 [3d ed]).
