DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, and, the order dated June 6, 2000 is vacated.
After the death on December 2, 1999, of Harry Kassop, the personal representative of the Estate of Harriet W. Kassop (hereinafter the Estate), any order issued before the substitution of a new personal representative was a nullity as to the Estate (see, Kelly v. Methodist Hosp., ___ A.D.2d ___ [2d Dept., Oct. 23, 2000]; Meehan v. Washington, 242 A.D.2d 286; CPLR 1015[a]; EPTL §§ 11-3.2, 11-3.4). The order dated June 6, 2000, which determined a motion brought by the former attorney for Harry Kassop, was issued before the substitution of a new personal representative for the Estate. It is therefore a nullity and must be vacated. Furthermore, the purported appeal from the order must be dismissed as this court has no jurisdiction to hear and determine the appeal (see, Kelly v. Methodist Hosp., supra; Flaherty v. Lynch, 265 A.D.2d 376; Cocozzelli, Lerner, Meunkle Grossman v. Basile, 247 A.D.2d 354). Were we to consider the appeal on the merits, we would determine that the note of issue which was served after Harry Kassop's death was a nullity as to the Estate (see, Braynard v. Morgan, 50 A.D.2d 810).
