WOOD v. DOLLOFF

It is hereby ordered that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum: Plaintiffs commenced this personal injury action in March 2004, and plaintiff Linda M. Wood died in June 2004. Upon her death, Supreme Court was divested "`"of jurisdiction to conduct proceedings in [the] action until a proper substitution [was] made pursuant to CPLR 1015 (a)"'" ( Giroux v Dunlop Tire Corp., 16 AD3d 1068, 1069, quoting Noriega v Presbyterian Hosp. in City of N.Y., 305 AD2d 220, 221), and the record is devoid of any evidence that plaintiffs' attorney obtained, or indeed sought, the requisite substitution. Thus, we lack jurisdiction to review the order on appeal, inasmuch as the order is a nullity ( see Singer v Riskin, 32 AD3d 839).
