GREENFIELD v. GREENFIELD (2026)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

Todd GREENFIELD, Plaintiff–Respondent, v. Elyse Siegel GREENFIELD, Defendant–Appellant.

7085

Decided: September 29, 2026

Webber, J.P., Mendez, González, Higgitt, Parker–Raso, JJ.

Elyse Siegel Greenfield, appellant pro se. Advocate, LLP, New York (Jason Advocate of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Michael L. Katz, J.), entered on or about March 5, 2026, which declined to sign defendant's order to show cause, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as taken from a nonappealable order.

No appeal lies from an order declining to sign an order to show cause because it is an ex parte order that does not determine a motion made on notice (CPLR 5701[a][2]; Chi Young Lee v. Osorio, 184 A.D.3d 417, 417, 123 N.Y.S.3d 494 [1st Dept. 2020] ).
