ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
By order dated April 26, 2000, the Supreme Court, Orange County, inter alia, granted the motion of the plaintiffs and third-party defendants to compel the respondents to arbitrate their claims before a religious tribunal pursuant to the parties' stipulation (see, 886 Mid-Orange Realty Corp. v. Lax, 288 A.D.2d 255 [decided herewith]). The respondents repeatedly failed to comply with the court's order. The plaintiffs and the third-party defendants then moved for summary judgment on the complaint and dismissing the third-party complaint based on the failure to comply. The Supreme Court properly denied the motion. Summary judgment is not an appropriate remedy for contempt (see, Judiciary Law § 756). Furthermore, the motion papers failed to include the statutory warnings required for a contempt motion (see, Judiciary Law § 756).
