2003-06572 Public Administrator of Kings County, etc., respondent, v Sarafino Tomassetti, et al., appellants, et al., defendant. (Index No. 41660/95)
| DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION |
On the court's own motion, it is
ORDERED that its decision and order on motion dated June 16, 2005, in the above-entitled case is recalled and vacated, and the following decision and order on motion is substituted therefor:
The defendants Sarafino Tomassetti and Maria Tomassetti having appealed to this court from an amended judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated June 19, 2003, having perfected the appeal on June 4, 2004, and the respondent having filed a brief on August 3, 2004, the appeal was placed on this court's calendar for April 18, 2005. By letter dated April 6, 2005, the respondent's counsel advised this court that the action had been settled. Thereafter, upon inquiry from the court, by letter dated April 11, 2005, the appellants' counsel requested leave to withdraw the appeal. Attached thereto was a letter from the respondent's counsel, also dated April 11, 2005, stating that the respondent had been paid in September 2004 and considered the matter resolved in full. A satisfaction of judgment dated April 11, 2005, was also submitted.
By order to show cause dated April 27, 2005, the parties and their counsel were directed to show cause before this court why an order should or should not be made and entered imposing such sanctions and/or costs, if any, against them pursuant to 22 NYCRR 670.2(g) as this court may deem appropriate.
Now, on the court's own motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is
ORDERED that the reply affirmations submitted by counsel for the plaintiffs are rejected and have not been considered in the determination of the motion; and it is further,
ORDERED that within 20 days after the service upon them of a copy of this decision and order on motion, Bower, Sanger & Lawrence, P.C., counsel for the appellants, and Thomas Torto, Esq., appellate counsel for the plaintiff, are each directed to pay a sanction in the sum of $500 to the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection of the State of New York (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.1[b]); and it is further,
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Kings County, shall enter judgment accordingly (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.2); and it is further,
ORDERED that the Clerk of this court, or his designee, shall serve a copy of this decision and order on motion upon counsel for the parties by regular mail.
Section 670.2(g) of the rules of this court provides, in relevant part, that "[i]f a cause or the underlying action or proceeding is wholly or partially settled * * * or if any cause should not be calendared * * * for some other reason, the parties or their counsel shall immediately notify the court," and "[a]ny attorney or party who, without good cause shown, fails to comply with the requirements of this subdivision shall be subject to the imposition of such costs and/or sanctions as the court may direct" (22 NYCRR 670.2[g]).
Under the circumstances the failure of both counsel for the appellants and appellate counsel for the plaintiff to promptly advise this court that the action had been settled warrants imposition of sanctions in the amount indicated.
