November 10, 2021

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

Greater Bright Light Home Care Services, Inc., et al., Plaintiffs,

v

Joseph Jeffries-El et al., Defendants, El Equity Corporation, Appellant, and HSBC Bank USA, Formerly Known as Marine Midland Bank, Respondent. (And Other Titles.)

Cordova & Schwartzman LLP, Garden City, NY (Jonathan B. Schwartzman of counsel), for appellant.

Anthony DiPaolo, P.C., Queens Village, NY, for respondent.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for breach of contract, the defendant El Equity Corporation appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Larry D. Martin, J.), dated June 13, 2019. The order denied that branch of the motion of the defendant El Equity Corporation which was for summary judgment on the cross claims asserted in its amended answer against the defendant HSBC Bank USA, formerly known as Marine Midland Bank, and granted that branch of the cross motion of the defendant HSBC Bank USA, formerly known as Marine Midland Bank, which was for summary judgment dismissing the cross claims against it asserted in that amended answer.

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements, and the order is vacated.

In light of our determination on a related appeal ( see Greater Bright Light Home Care Servs., Inc. v Jeffries-El , 199 AD3d 777 [2021] [decided herewith]), we dismiss the appeal as academic. Hinds-Radix, J.P., Brathwaite Nelson, Iannacci and Zayas, JJ., concur..
