U.S. Bank, N.A., etc., respondent,

v Thomas Kelly, et al., appellants, et al.,

defendants.

(Index No. 600756/2015)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dated January 7, 2022. Motion by the respondent to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the dismissal of a prior appeal for failure to timely perfect precludes consideration of the issues to be raised on the appeal from the order dated January 7, 2022, pursuant to Bray v Cox (38 NY2d 350), or in the alternative, to extend the time to serve and file a brief.

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

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeal is held in abeyance and referred to the panel of Justices hearing the appeal for determination upon the argument or submission thereof; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to extend the time to serve and file a brief is granted, and on or before April 26, 2023, the respondent shall serve and file the respondent's brief via NYSCEF, if applicable, or, if NYSCEF is not mandated, serve the brief and upload a digital copy of the brief, with proof of service thereof, through the digital portal on this Court's website.

IANNACCI, J.P., CHRISTOPHER, FORD and WAN, JJ., concur.
