RICHARD D. PRIEST, JR., PETITIONER-APPELLANT,

V

ELLEN C. PRIEST, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.


Appellant having moved for an extension of time to perfect the appeals taken herein from orders of the Onondaga County Surrogate's Court, dated May 31, 2024 and June 26, 2024 and to settle the record for the appeals,

Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is hereby ORDERED that the motion for an extension of time to perfect the appeals is denied without prejudice to a timely motion to vacate the dismissal of the appeals(see 22 NYCRR 1250.10 [c]), and

It is further ORDERED that the motion to settle the record on the appeals is denied.

Memorandum: A motion to settle the record is properly brought in the court from which the appeal is taken (Surrogate's Court), not this Court (see Stewart v Soda, 239 AD2d 966, 966 [4th Dept 1997]; 22 NYCRR 1250.7 [g]; 1000.7 [b]).

Entered: September 9, 2025

Clerk of the Court
