Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as the appellant is not aggrieved by the portion of the order appealed from ( see CPLR 5511).
We note that no notice of appeal was filed on behalf of the defendant in action No. 2, L. Stephen Germano, also known as Lawrence Stephen Germano, also known as Stephen Germano. Accordingly, although he has filed a brief purporting to be an appellant, there is no basis to entertain the arguments asserted therein on his behalf ( see NYCTL 1998-1 Trust v. Prol Props. Corp., 308 AD2d 478).
