Preferred Contrs. Ins. Co. Risk Retention Group, LLC v Nuway Interior Corp., 2018 NY Slip Op 03162 [2d Dept. 2018]
A party is aggrieved "when he or she asks for relief but that relief is denied in whole or in part" or "when someone asks for relief against him or her, which the person opposes, and the relief is granted in whole or in part" (Mixon v TBV, Inc., 76 AD3d 144, 156-157 [emphasis omitted]). Here, the order appealed from granted that branch of the plaintiff's motion which sought relief against the defendants Nuway, Antonyshyn, and Mytsyk, but not against the appellants. The order appealed from specifically states that the "plaintiff bears no duty to defend, or to indemnify, Nuway [*2]in the underlying personal injury action." Accordingly, the appellants are not aggrieved by the order appealed from, and their appeal must be dismissed (see Faicco v Mr. Lucky's Pub, Inc., 131 AD3d 920; Soho Plaza Corp. v Birnbaum, 108 AD3d 518, 519).
Matter of Wood v Port Wash. Police Dist., 2018 NY Slip Op 03134 [2d Dept. 2018]
The order appealed from is not appealable as a matter of right, as no appeal lies as of right from a nonfinal order in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (see CPLR 5701[b][1]; Matter of Scarcella v Village of Scarsdale Bd. of Trustees, 72 AD3d 831). Leave to appeal has not been granted and, under the circumstances of this case, we decline to grant leave to appeal sua sponte (see CPLR 5701[c]; Matter of Young Israel of Merrick v Board of Appeals of Town of Hempstead, 304 AD2d 834).
Daviotis v Kappa Servs. Corp., 2018 NY Slip Op 03121 [2d Dept. 2018]
A person is aggrieved within the meaning of CPLR 5511 when he or she asks for relief but that relief is denied in whole or in part, or when someone asks for relief against him or her, which the person opposed, and the relief is granted in whole or in part (see Faicco v Mr. Lucky's Pub, Inc., 131 AD3d 920; Mixon v TBV, Inc., 76 AD3d 144). Here, the defendants moved, inter alia, to impose discovery sanctions against the plaintiff, and the order appealed from denied the defendants' motion as academic. Since the plaintiff is not aggrieved by the order appealed from, his appeal must be dismissed (see CPLR 5511; Fiacco v Mr. Lucky's Pub, Inc., 131 AD3d 920; Edgar S. v Roman, 115 AD3d 931).
