Stanley JOHNSON, Appellant, v. STATE of New York, Respondent (Claim No. 88471.)
The Court of Claims properly granted defendant's motion to strike the note of issue. Pursuant to the parties' stipulation, claimant was required to take action to reactivate the claim within 45 days of the final disposition of a related Supreme Court action. The order entered May 25, 1994 finally disposed of the Supreme Court action, and claimant's attempt to reactivate the claim in February 1997 was therefore untimely. We reject claimant's contention that there was no final disposition of the Supreme Court action because the time to take an appeal from the order never started running. Service of the order stamped with the date of entry and indicating that it was filed with the Oneida County Clerk constituted service of the order with notice of entry, commencing the running of the time to take an appeal (see, CPLR 5513[a]; Norstar Bank of Upstate N.Y. v. Office Control Sys., 78 N.Y.2d 1110, 1111, 578 N.Y.S.2d 868, 586 N.E.2d 51). Further, even if claimant's time to take an appeal had not expired, the order was not appealable in any event because it was entered upon claimant's consent (see, CPLR 5511; Matter of Bambi C., 238 A.D.2d 942, 661 N.Y.S.2d 551, lv. denied 90 N.Y.2d 805, 663 N.Y.S.2d 511, 686 N.E.2d 223).
Order unanimously affirmed without costs.
