IN RE: Alla TULCHINSKAYA, respondent, v. Iraida GILMAN, appellant.
DECISION & ORDER
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8, Iraida Gilman appeals from an order of fact-finding and disposition of the Family Court, Kings County (Lisa Aschkenasy, Ct. Atty. Ref.), dated June 21, 2024. The order of fact-finding and disposition, after a hearing, found that Iraida Gilman committed the family offense of stalking in the fourth degree and directed her to comply with the terms of an order of protection.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
An appellant is obligated to assemble a proper record on appeal, which must include any relevant transcripts of proceedings before the hearing court or trial court (see CPLR 5525; Matter of Camarda v. Charlot, 208 A.D.3d 1323, 1323, 174 N.Y.S.3d 282). Here, the appellant's failure to provide this Court with all of the relevant transcripts of the Family Court hearing renders the record on appeal inadequate to enable this Court to reach an informed determination on the merits. Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed (see Matter of Dodd v. Dodd, 217 A.D.3d 863, 863, 191 N.Y.S.3d 689; Matter of Camarda v. Charlot, 208 A.D.3d at 1323, 174 N.Y.S.3d 282).
CONNOLLY, J.P., BRATHWAITE NELSON, LANDICINO and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
