DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The appellant failed to order and, if necessary, settle a transcript of the hearing. Since the parties did not stipulate to proceeding without the transcript, the appeal must be dismissed (see, Family Ct Act § 1118, CPLR 5525, 5526 22 NYCRR 670.10[a]; see, Svoboda v. Svoboda, 275 A.D.2d 742 [2d Dept., Sept. 18, 2000]; Matter of Robinson v. Fisher, 275 A.D.2d 326 [2d Dept., Aug. 7, 2000]; Matter of Jerome v. Davis, 187 A.D.2d 514; Matter of Baiko v. Baiko, 141 A.D.2d 635). We note that the appellant's motion to be provided with a free transcript of the proceedings was denied by decision and order of this court dated March 2, 2000.
