In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for unlawful termination of employment in violation of Labor Law § 740, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Phelan, J.), dated November 30, 2010, which granted the defendant's motion, inter alia, to dismiss the complaint as abandoned.
ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the defendant's motion is denied, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Nassau County, for further proceedings before a different Justice.
The plaintiff commenced the instant action, inter alia, to recover damages for unlawful termination of employment pursuant to Labor Law § 740. In January 2006 the plaintiff filed a note of issue. In an order entered June 26, 2006, the Supreme Court, among other things, granted the defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, and the case was marked “disposed.” The plaintiff appealed from that order.

The records of the Nassau County Clerk indicate that it received the decision and order dated April 15, 2008, on May 13, 2008. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated July 30, 2008, the defendant's motion, inter alia, for leave to reargue the appeal was denied.
In April 2010, after making inquiries to the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, as to the status of the case, the plaintiff's counsel personally obtained a copy of this Court's decision and order dated April 15, 2008, and filed it in the Supreme Court, Nassau County, which restored the action to the trial calendar. On July 15, 2010, the defendant moved, inter alia, to dismiss the complaint as abandoned. In the order appealed from, the...
