Avis Rent-A-Car System, Inc. v. Edmin Realty Corp.
Opinion of the Court
— In an action, inter alia, for a judgment declaring the rights
Ordered that the cross appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements; and it is further,
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The cross appeal by the defendant Parochial Bus System, Inc. (hereinafter Parochial) must be dismissed, inasmuch as no appeal as of right lies from an order which fails to decide a motion (see, CPLR 5701 [a] [2] [v]; see, e.g., Kromholz v Notey, 121 AD2d 668; Stewart v County of Nassau, 120 AD2d 516; Abrahamsen v Brockway Glass Co., 119 AD2d 612). Contrary to Parochial’s characterization of the record, the Supreme Court neither considered nor decided the motion for summary judgment. Rather, after granting consolidation and placing venue of the action in Bronx County, the court advised Parochial that its motion could be presented to the Supreme Court, Bronx County.
We find unpersuasive the contention of the plaintiff Avis Rent-A-Car System, Inc. (hereinafter Avis) that the court erred in placing venue of the consolidated actions in Bronx County. Parochial’s allegations to the effect that Avis committed acts of waste with respect to the leasehold premises and interfered with its possession of the property by failing to remove a holdover tenant are arguably sufficient to support the Supreme Court’s determination that venue should be placed in Bronx County pursuant to CPLR 507 on the ground that the actions would affect the possession, use, or enjoyment of real property located therein (see generally, Slutsky v Roc-Le Triomphe Assocs., 129 AD2d 879; Moschera & Catalano v Advanced Structures Corp., 104 AD2d 306; Spellman Food Servs. v Patrick, 90 AD2d 791; Arnold Constable Corp. v Staten Is. Mall, 61 AD2d 826; see also, 2 Weinstein-KornMiller, NY Civ Prac ¶¶ 507.03-507.05). Accordingly, under the circumstances presented, we discern no basis for disturbing
