MODICA v. MARCUS GARVEY NURSING HOME

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Mar 14, 1988

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The record discloses that the plaintiff died prior to service of the motion for summary judgment on his behalf, which is the subject of this appeal, and no legal representative has been substituted for him in this action (see, CPLR 1015 [a]). Therefore, this court has no jurisdiction to determine the appeal, and the judgment granted in his favor is void (see, Catalfamo v. Flushing Natl. Bank, 124 A.D.2d 624; Ludlam Stead v Rezza, 118 A.D.2d 628; Paul v. Ascher, 106 A.D.2d 619). Lawrence, J.P., Eiber, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
