JOSEPH P. SHELLEY, JR., appellant, v. MADELEINE M. SHELLEY, ETC., respondent.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the appeal from the order is dismissed; and it is further,

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed; and it is further,

ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the defendant.

The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action (see Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on the appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment (see CPLR 5501[a][1]).

On September 7, 2000, the plaintiff commenced the instant action to recover on a demand note executed by the defendant's decedent on April 30, 1990. The Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as time-barred. Because this was a demand note, the applicable six-year statute of limitations (see CPLR 213) began to run from the date of execution of the note (see Phoenix Acquisition Corp. v. Wickwire, 81 N.Y.2d 138, 143; Pomaro v. Quality Sheet Metal, 295 A.D.2d 416, 418). Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, he presented insufficient evidence to raise a question of fact as to whether the statute of limitations was tolled (cf. General Obligations Law § 17-101; Skaneateles Sav. Bank v. Modi Assocs., 239 A.D.2d 40; Bernstein v. Kaplan, 67 A.D.2d 897).

SMITH, J.P., SCHMIDT, ADAMS and COZIER, JJ., concur.
