Synopsis
In this holdover proceeding, tenants appealed from an order denying various motions including to sanction the judge, for discovery, to recuse the judge, for leave to reargue, to strike a jury demand, to strike landlords' answer to their counterclaims, to "reconsider signing subpoenas," and to stay the trial. However, the appeal was dismissed as the right of direct appeal terminated upon the subsequent entry of a final judgment. Key legal points include the requirement for timely appeal and the termination of the right of direct appeal upon the entry of a final judgment.
