No appeal lies from an evidentiary ruling made before trial; such a ruling is reviewable only in connection with the appeal from the judgment rendered after trial (see, Matter of the Estate of Grusetz, 248 A.D.2d 618; Roman v. City of New York, 187 A.D.2d 390). In any event, were we to consider the determination of the IAS court on the merits, we would find that it was well within the court's discretion to preclude introduction of the subject evidence, which was not relevant to any of the issues involved in the pending trial.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
