2025-07824 Edward Bruno, respondent, v Paula J. Bruno, appellant. (Index No. 2223/2017)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Appeal from a purported order of the Supreme Court, Orange County, dated May 29, 2025. Motion by Brach Eichler, LLC, for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant and to extend the time to perfect the appeal.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant is granted and on or before February 9, 2026, Brach Eichler, LLC, shall serve its client by one of the methods specified in CPLR 2103(c), with a copy of this decision and order on motion and shall file proof of such service with the Clerk of this Court, via NYSCEF, if applicable, or, if NYSCEF is not mandated, via email at [email protected]; and it is further,

ORDERED that no further proceedings shall be taken against the appellant, without leave of the Court, until the expiration of 30 days after service upon her of a copy of this decision and order on motion; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the parties are directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal in the above-entitled action on the ground that no appeal lies from a decision (see Schicchi v J.A. Green Constr. Co., 100 AD2d 509) or, in the alternative, that no appeal lies as of right from an order that is not the result of a motion made on notice (see CPLR 5701) and leave to appeal has not been granted, by serving and filing, via NYSCEF, a digital copy of an affirmation or an affidavit on that issue on or before March 11, 2026; if a self-represented party is unable to use the digital portal, they may instead file a copy of an affirmation or affidavit, with proof of service thereof, via email at [email protected] or via regular mail addressed to the Clerk of this Court on or before March 25, 2026; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to extend the time to perfect the appeal is held in abeyance in the interim; and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court, or his designee, shall serve a copy of this order to show cause upon the parties to the appeal by uploading a copy of this order to show cause to the NYSCEF system, and upon the appellant, via email to the email address provided to this Court, or if no email address is available for service by regular mail.

GENOVESI, J.P., CHRISTOPHER, TAYLOR and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
