ALTHOUGH THE ARTICLE 78 PROCEEDING WAS PROPERLY TRANSFERRED TO THE APPELLATE DIVISION, THE RELATED DECLARATORY JUDGMENT ACTION WAS NOT TRANSFERABLE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined Supreme Court properly transferred the Article 78 proceeding to the appellate division because there was a quasi-judicial hearing before an administrative law judge at which evidence was taken. The court noted that the aspect of the underlying action which sought a declaratory judgment could not be transferred to the appellate division:

… [A]lthough petitioner also contends that she is entitled to declaratory relief, we do not “have jurisdiction to consider the declaratory judgment action as part of this otherwise properly transferred CPLR article 78 proceeding” … . The transfer of a declaratory judgment action to this Court is not authorized by CPLR 7804 (g) … and we “lack[] jurisdiction to consider a declaratory judgment action in the absence of a proper appeal from a court order or judgment” … . We therefore vacate the order insofar as it transferred the declaratory judgment action, sever the declaratory judgment action and CPLR article 78 proceeding, and remit the declaratory judgment action to Supreme Court for further proceedings … . Matter of Blue v Zucker, 2021 NY Slip Op 01924, Fourth Dept 3-26-21
