Shankman v. Consolidated Edison Co.

OPINION OF THE COURT Memorandum. Appeal from order (see 94 Misc 2d 150) dismissed, without costs. The denial of defendant’s motion to dismiss for failure to make out a prima facie case is a ruling made during the [957] course of the trial and is not appealable either as of right or by permission (CCA, § 1702; see Covell v H.R.H. Constr. Corp., 17 NY2d 709, affg 24 AD2d 566; Richardson v Wengatz, 33 AD2d 947). However, were the appeal properly before us, we would be inclined to reverse (see Lo Vico v Consolidated Edison Co., 99 Misc 2d 897). Concur: Pino, P. J. and Buschmann, J.; Weinstein, J., taking no part.
