[*1]ANNE MACKIEWICZ, AS EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF PAUL O. JESSEN, DECEASED, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,

v

AUTUMN VIEW HEALTH CARE FACILITY, AUTUMN VIEW HEALTH CARE FACILITY, LLC, THE MCGUIRE GROUP, INC., VESTRA SPVI, LLC, AND VESTRA SPV2, LLC, DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.

HARRIS BEACH PLLC, NEW YORK CITY (BRIAN D. GINSBERG OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.

BROWN CHIARI, LLP, BUFFALO (ANDREA N. CONJERTI OF COUNSEL), FOR PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT.

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Catherine R. Nugent Panepinto, J.), entered November 14, 2022. The order, inter alia, denied the motion of defendants insofar as it sought to dismiss the complaint.

It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum: As limited by their brief, defendants appeal from an order that, inter alia, denied their motion insofar as it sought to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (7). We conclude that the appeal must be dismissed inasmuch as that order was materially amended by a subsequent order (see Matter of Eric D. [appeal No. 1], 162 AD2d 1051, 1051 [4th Dept 1990]), and we decline to exercise our discretion to treat the notice of appeal as one taken from the subsequent order (see Matter of Justeen T., 17 AD3d 1148, 1148 [4th Dept 2005]).

Entered: November 17, 2023

Clerk of the Court
