Adeolabisi Kabiru Kazeem, etc., appellant, v. New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (Queens Hospital Center), respondent. (2026)

Argued—September 22, 2025

DECISION & ORDER

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for medical malpractice and wrongful death, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kevin J. Kerrigan, J.), entered January 5, 2023.  The order denied the plaintiff's motion, in effect, for leave to renew and reargue his prior motion for leave to serve a late notice of claim or to deem a late notice of claim timely served nunc pro tunc and his opposition to the defendant's prior cross-motion to dismiss the complaint.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

In light of our determination on a related appeal (see Kazeem v New York City Health & Hosps.  Corp., _ AD3d _ [Appellate Division Docket No. 2021–04811;  decided herewith] ), the appeal from the order denying the plaintiff's motion, in effect, for leave to renew and reargue must be dismissed because the appeal has been rendered academic (see Matter of Local 621, S.E.I.U. v New York City Fire Dept., 230 AD3d 1148;  Coalition of Landlords, Homeowners & Merchants, Inc. v. S. & A. Neocronon, Inc., 224 AD3d 660).

IANNACCI, J.P., CHAMBERS, WAN and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
