2024-09299 Nickolaos A. Rouvas, et al., appellants, v Carla T. Mendoza, et al., respondents, et al., defendants. (Index No. 705858/2020)
| DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION |
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated May 17, 2024. Motion by Nickolaos A. Rouvas and Rea Papachristoforyou to extend the time to perfect the appeal. By order to show cause dated June 20, 2025, the parties were directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal on the ground that the non-party appellant Alex Zhang is not aggrieved (see CPLR 5511). Application by Nickolaos A. Rouvas and Rea Papachristoforyou, in effect, to deem the notice of appeal to reflect that Nickolaos A. Rouvas and Rea Papachristoforyou are the appealing parties.
Now, upon the order to show cause and the papers filed in response thereto, upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the application and the papers filed in relation thereto, it is
ORDERED that the application is granted, the notice of appeal is deemed to reflect that Nickolaos A. Rouvas and Rea Papachristoforyou are the appealing parties (see CPLR 2001; Matter of Tagliaferri, 1 NY3d 605), and the caption is amended accordingly; and it is further,
ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is denied; and it is further,
ORDERED that the motion to extend the time to perfect the appeal is granted, and on or before November 5, 2025, the appellants shall serve and file the record or appendix and the appellants' brief via NYSCEF, if applicable, or, if NYSCEF is not mandated, serve the record or appendix and the appellants' brief and upload digital copies of the record or appendix and the appellants' brief, with proof of service thereof, through the digital portal on this Court's website.
