New York State Division of Human Rights v. Oceanside Cove II Apartment Corp.

Decision Date10 April 2007
Docket Number2006-05184.
Citation835 N.Y.S.2d 246,39 A.D.3d 608,2007 NY Slip Op 03109
PartiesNEW YORK STATE DIVISION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, Appellant, v. OCEANSIDE COVE II APARTMENT CORPORATION, Respondent.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, with costs, as no appeal lies as of right from an order that does not decide a motion made on notice (see CPLR 5701 [a] [2]), and leave to appeal has not been granted (see CPLR 5701 [c]).

The plaintiff, having conceded the impropriety of its service of the summons and complaint, was relegated to seeking an extension of the time to effect service under CPLR 306-b. Rather than making a motion for this relief, the plaintiff, in opposing the defendant's cross motion, inter alia, to dismiss for lack of in personam jurisdiction, merely asked for this extension and argued why it should be granted. This constituted a violation of CPLR 2215, as amended (see Khaolaead v Leisure Video, 18 AD3d 820, 821 [2005]; Hergerton v Hergerton, 235 AD2d 395, 396 [1997]; Thomas v Drifters, 219 AD2d 639, 640 [1995]; Matter of Barquet v Rojas-Castillo, 216 AD2d 463 [1995]; Matter of Briger, 95 AD2d 887, 888 [1983]; Siegel, Practice Commentaries, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 7B, CPLR C2215:1; Siegel, NY Prac § 249, at 423 [4th ed]). Since the plaintiff merely requested this relief in its opposition papers, and did not make a motion on notice as defined in CPLR 2211, the plaintiff is not entitled to appeal as of right from the order denying its request to extend the time for service of the summons and complaint (see CPLR 5701 [a] [2]; Thompson v 76 Corp., 37 AD3d 450 [2007]; Siegel, NY Prac § 526, at 897 [4th ed]).
