Charles Altman, Rye, NY, appellant pro se.

DECISION & ORDER

In an action for a divorce and ancillary relief, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Nancy Quinn Koba, J.), dated March 11, 2020. The order, insofar as appealed from, granted that branch of the plaintiff's cross-motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3126 for discovery sanctions to the extent of directing the defendant to pay the plaintiff's counsel the sum of $2,500 and conditionally precluding the defendant from offering certain evidence at trial unless he complied with certain discovery demands on or before March 24, 2020.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The appeal from the order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of the judgment of divorce in the action (see Matter of Aho , 39 NY2d 241, 248).

BRATHWAITE NELSON, J.P., VOUTSINAS, TAYLOR and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
