U-Trend New York Investment L.P. v. US Suite LLC

Order (denominated order and judgment [one paper]), Supreme Court, New York County (Charles E. Ramos, J.), entered June 9, 2016, which directed distribution of the subject sales proceeds to plaintiff with related relief, unanimously affirmed, with costs. Appeals from order, same court and Justice, entered November 13, 2015, which granted plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment declaring plaintiff to be the source of certain subject funds, and from order, same court and Justice, entered April 14, 2016, which denied a defense motion for the court’s recusal and related relief, unanimously dis *476 missed, without costs, as subsumed in and superseded by, respectively, the appeal from the June 9, 2016 order.

We perceive no basis for disturbing the court’s order directing distribution to plaintiff of the net proceeds of the sale of the property at issue. The court properly determined that plaintiff was entitled to those proceeds based upon loans it advanced related to the acquisition of the property, along with interest due on the loans.

The court’s denial of recusal was an appropriate exercise of discretion (see Mehulic v New York Downtown Hosp., 140 AD3d 417 [1st Dept 2016]).
