MATTER OF ORANGE WILLIAMS AND HOLLIS WILLIAMS, PETITIONERS-RESPONDENTS, v. MALEATRA LEWIS, RESPONDENT-APPELLANT.

Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and matter remitted to Onondaga County Family Court for further proceedings on the petition.

Memorandum:

Although no appeal lies from an order entered on default ( see, CPLR 5511; see also, Matter of Hines v. Hines, 125 A.D.2d 946), the order on appeal was not properly entered on default. Respondent failed to appear, but her attorney appeared and objected to the default determination. Thus, Family Court erred in relieving respondent's attorney of his assignment and in entering an order on default. We therefore reverse the order and remit the matter to Onondaga County Family Court for further proceedings on the petition ( see, Matter of Shemeco D., 265 A.D.2d 860 [decided Oct. 1, 1999]; see also, Matter of Cassandra M., 260 A.D.2d 961).
