Matter of Saleem v Chaudhry, 2018 NY Slip Op 00152 [157 AD3d 703]

January 10, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

In the Matter of Sitara Saleem, Appellant,

v

Waqar Ahmed Chaudhry, Respondent. (Proceeding No. 1.) In the Matter of Waqar Ahmed Chaudhry, Respondent, v Sitara Saleem, Appellant. (Proceeding No. 2.)

Mark Diamond, New York, NY, for appellant.

Karen P. Simmons, Brooklyn, NY (Janet Neustaetter and Barbara H. Dildine of counsel), attorney for the child.

Appeal from a decision of the Family Court, Kings County (Dean Kusakabe, J.), dated August 30, 2016. The decision, insofar as appealed from, memorialized the court’s finding that the mother was in contempt of court for failing to comply with a prior order of that court dated April 1, 2014.

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

As the paper appealed from simply memorialized the Family Court’s prior findings, it constituted a decision. Since no appeal lies from a decision, this appeal must be dismissed ( see Matter of Rodriguez v Rodriguez , 150 AD3d 1016 , 1017 [2017]; Schicchi v J.A. Green Constr. Corp. , 100 AD2d 509 [1984]). Mastro, J.P., Roman, Sgroi and Cohen, JJ., concur..
