233 A.D.2d 815; 650 N.Y.S.2d 440; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 12189
Aftuck v. Aftuck

Opinion of the Court

Yesawich Jr., J. Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court (Monserrate, J.), entered February 14, 1995 in Broome County, which denied defendant’s motion to amend a prior judgment requiring defendant to pay interest on child support arrears.

The appeal must be dismissed. Defendant’s motion to "modify” the judgment so as to eliminate therefrom the sum of $9,658.44 in interest was, in essence, an application to resettle the judgment in its substantive or decretal provisions, the denial of which is not appealable (see, Brennan v Breezy Point Coop., 124 AD2d 772, appeal dismissed, lv dismissed 70 NY2d 641, 782; Cohn v Cohn, 100 AD2d 528).

Mercure, J. P., Peters, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs.
