138 A.D.3d 1062

In a hybrid action, inter alia, to recover damages pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for a violation of constitutional rights, and proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the New York State Department of Transportation dated May 9, 2013, repealing a prior order which had prohibited parking outside the premises of the plaintiffs/petitioners, and to direct the Village of Mamaroneck to replace certain “no parking” signs, the plaintiffs/petitioners appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Zuckerman, J.), dated June 4, 2014, which granted the motion of the defendants/respondents Village of Mamaroneck and Richard Slingerland, and the separate motion of the defendants/respondents New York State Department of Transportation, N.A. Choubah, and Kamal Ahmed, pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) to dismiss the complaint/petition insofar as asserted against each of them.

ORDERED that the notice of appeal from so much of the order dated June 4, 2014, as granted those branches of the defendants/respondents' separate motions which were to dismiss the cause of action seeking relief pursuant to CPLR article 78 is deemed to be an application for leave to appeal from that portion of the order, and leave to appeal is granted (see CPLR 5701[c] ); and it is further,

ORDERED that the order dated June 4, 2014, is modified, on the law, by deleting the provision thereof granting those branches of the defendants/respondents' separate motions which were to dismiss the cause of action seeking relief pursuant to CPLR article 78, and substituting therefor a provision denying those branches of the motions; as so modified, the order dated June 4, 2014, is affirmed; and it is further,

ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the plaintiffs/petitioners, payable by the defendants/respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
