NO APPEAL LIES FROM AN ORDER ISSUED ON DEFAULT, A MOTION TO VACATE IS THE ONLY REMEDY; NO APPEAL LIES FROM AN ORDER ISSUED ON CONSENT (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, dismissing the appeal in this custody case, determined (1) no appeal lies from an order issued on mother’s default, and (2) no  appeal lies from an order entered with mother’s consent:

Because the fact-finding order was issued on the mother’s default, it is not appealable as of right and her remedy was to move to vacate (CPLR 5511 …). Although the mother appeared on the final date of the inquest after petitioner’s witnesses had testified, she was not present during the majority of the fact-finding hearing, and her counsel was not authorized to proceed in her absence … . The mother also did not offer any evidence or seek to testify.

Furthermore, no appeal lies from the dispositional order, as it was entered on the mother’s consent and she is therefore not an aggrieved party under CPLR 5511 … .  Matter of P. A. (Joseph M.), 2023 NY Slip Op 03432, First Dept 6-27-23

Practice Point: No appeal lies from an order issued on default. The only available remedy is a motion to vacate the default.

Practice Point: No appeal lies from an order issued on consent because the consenting party is not “aggrieved.”
