TRIBECA LENDING CORPORATION v. GREGORY BARTLETT (2026)

Gregory M. Bartlett, appellant pro se.

Robertson, Anschutz, Schneid, Crane & Partners, PLLC, Westbury (Joseph F. Batista of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Suzanne Adams, J.), entered May 9, 2025, which denied defendant's letter application for leave to file a motion to vacate the judgment of foreclosure and sale, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as taken from a nonappealable paper.

The letter of denial, which was in response to defendant's letter to the Administrative Judge, is not appealable as of right because it did not decide a motion made upon notice (CPLR 5701[a][2];  see Sholes v. Meagher, 100 N.Y.2d 333, 335 [2003];  Djeddah v. Williams, 134 AD3d 479, 480 [1st Dept 2015] ).  We decline to

exercise our discretion to deem the notice of appeal a motion for leave to appeal.
