DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the plaintiffs' contentions, they were not prejudiced by the Supreme Court's decision to allow them to proceed pro se. "A litigant appearing pro se acquires no greater right than any other litigant and such appearance may not be used to deprive defendants of the same rights enjoyed by other defendants" (Roundtree v. Singh, 143 A.D.2d 995, 996). The plaintiffs appeared pro se at the trial at their own peril.
The plaintiffs' remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, are without merit.
ALTMAN, J.P., COZIER, MASTRO and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
