Following the IAS court's determination in the appealed order, plaintiff successfully moved to reargue and, upon reargument, the IAS court granted the relief plaintiff was seeking. "[I]t is the general policy of the courts of this State where an appeal has been rendered moot to simply dismiss the appeal" (Matter of Ruskin v. Safir, 257 A.D.2d 268, 271).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
