Killian v. Heiman

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Wyoming County (Mark H. Dadd, A.J.), entered August 17, 2011. The order, insofar as appealed from, denied the motion of defendant to dismiss the amended complaint.
Bouvier Partnership, LLP, Buffalo (Norman E.S. Greene of Counsel), for Defendant–Appellant. Cellino & Barnes, P.C., Rochester (Richard P. Amico of Counsel), for Plaintiffs–Respondents.
MEMORANDUM:

Defendant appeals from an order that, inter alia, denied his motion to dismiss the amended complaint with prejudice on the ground that one of the plaintiffs failed to appear at trial for a scheduled cross-examination. Defendant's contention that Supreme Court abused its discretion in denying that motion involves matters outside the record on appeal. We therefore are unable to determine the merits of defendant's contention, and defendant, “as the appellant, ... must suffer the consequences” of submitting an incomplete record (Matter of Santoshia L., 202 A.D.2d 1027, 1028, 609 N.Y.S.2d 724;see Matter of Rodriguez v. Ward, 43 A.D.3d 640, 641, 842 N.Y.S.2d 622).

It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs. SCUDDER, P.J., PERADOTTO, SCONIERS, VALENTINO, and MARTOCHE, JJ., concur.
