No Appeal Lies from an Order Entered Upon a Default

The Fourth Department noted that no appeal lies from an order entered upon a default. The only remedy is a motion to vacate the default order:

Plaintiff appeals from an order granting the respective motion and cross motions of defendants seeking summary judgment dismissing the second amended complaint against them.  It is undisputed that plaintiff failed to oppose the motion and cross motions or to appear on the return date thereof, and thus we deem the order to be entered upon plaintiff’s default… . We therefore dismiss the appeal from the order inasmuch as no appeal lies from an order entered on default … .  The fact that Supreme Court, upon plaintiff’s default, granted the motion and cross motions on the merits … is of no moment inasmuch as no appeal lies from an order entered on default.  “[I]t is not inconsistent to determine both that plaintiff[ is] in default and that defendants are entitled to summary judgment on the merits.  Plaintiff[’s] remedy is to move to vacate the default [order]”… .  Britt…v Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority…, 977, 4th Dept 9-27-13
