v Patricia Burke, respondent.

(Index No. 202392/02)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Application by the appellant pursuant to 22 NYCRR 670.8(d)(2) to enlarge the time to perfect appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated July 7, 2004, and a money judgment of the same court dated August 9, 2004. By order on application dated March 15, 2005, the parties or their attorneys were directed to show cause why an order should or should not be entered dismissing the appeal from the order dated July 7, 2004, on the ground that that order is merely a decision from which no appeal lies (see Schicchi v Green Constr. Corp., 100 AD2d 509), and the application to enlarge the time to perfect the appeals was held in abeyance in the interim.

Upon the application, the order on application dated March 15, 2005, and the papers filed in response to the order on application, it is

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the notice of appeal from the order dated July 7, 2004, is treated as an application for leave to appeal and leave to appeal is granted (see CPLR 5701[c]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the application to enlarge time is granted, the appellant shall perfect the appeals, on or before June 12, 2005, and the record or appendix on the appeals and the appellant's brief must be served and filed on or before that date; and it is further,

ORDERED that the order to show cause contained in the order on application dated March 15, 2005, is denied.
