Scully-Weinmuller v Gigante, 2018 NY Slip Op 08706 [167 AD3d 961]

December 19, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

Susan Scully-Weinmuller, Respondent,

v

Joseph Gigante et al., Defendants, and Donald Krieff et al., Appellants.

Aaronson Rappaport Feinstein & Deutsch, LLP, New York, NY (Deirdre E. Tracey and Alexander Sikoscow of counsel), for appellants.

Marc S. Albert, Astoria, NY (Jerrold N. Cohen of counsel), for respondent.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for medical malpractice, the defendants Donald Krieff, Neurological Surgery, P.C., and Ramin Rak appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Jack L. Libert, J.), entered April 25, 2018. The order, insofar as appealed from, upon the denial of the motion of the defendants Donald Krieff, Neurological Surgery, P.C., and Ramin Rak, inter alia, to resettle an order of the same court entered October 19, 2017, sua sponte, directed those defendants to produce a certain privilege log within 30 days of the date of the order.

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

The appeal must be dismissed because no appeal lies as of right from a portion of an order that does not decide a motion made on notice, and we decline to grant leave to appeal therefrom ( see CPLR 5701 [a] [2]). To the extent that the appellants raise the issue of whether certain documents sought by the plaintiff in discovery were privileged, and, thus, not subject to disclosure, that issue is not properly before this Court on this appeal, and can only be reviewed on the appeal from a prior order of the Supreme Court entered October 19, 2017, which determined that branch of the plaintiff’s prior motion which was to compel the appellants to disclose the subject documents and denied the appellants’ cross motion for a protective order. Chambers, J.P., Sgroi, Barros and Connolly, JJ., concur..
