Rachelle Daniels, etc., plaintiff-respondent, v. Eric L. Jerome, defendant-appellant-respondent, Nephro–Care, Inc., defendant-respondent-appellant. (2026)

Argued—November 10, 2025

DECISION & ORDER

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for medical malpractice, the defendant Eric L. Jerome appeals, and the defendant Nephro–Care, Inc., cross-appeals, from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Genine D. Edwards, J.), dated April 9, 2019.  The order, insofar as appealed from, denied the motion of the defendant Eric L. Jerome for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against him.  The order, insofar as cross-appealed from, denied the motion of the defendant Nephro–Care, Inc., for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it.

ORDERED that the appeal and cross-appeal are dismissed, with one bill of costs to the plaintiff.

The appeal and cross-appeal from the order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of the judgment in the action (see Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241).  The issues raised on the appeal and cross-appeal from the order are not brought up for review on the appeal from the judgment since the order did not necessarily affect the judgment (see CPLR 5501[a][1];  Bonczar v American Multi–Cinema, Inc., 38 NY3d 1023;  Martell v. Dorchester Apt. Corp., 208 AD3d 1183;  Stanescu v. Stanescu, 206 AD3d 1031).

GENOVESI, J.P., WAN, TAYLOR and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
