Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, with costs.
A preliminary conference order is not appealable to this court as of right because it is not an order which determined a motion made on notice (see, CPLR 5701 [a] [2]; Yetman v St. Charles Hosp., 112 A.D.2d 297; Cohalan v Johnson Elec. Constr. Corp., 105 A.D.2d 770). No appropriate application has been made for permission to appeal (see, CPLR 5701 [c]). Therefore, the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed. Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Eiber, Rosenblatt and Ritter, JJ., concur.
