NO APPEAL LIES FROM DICTA (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department noted that no appeal lies from dicta. Here the plaintiff acknowledged her slip and fall complaint was properly dismissed against two defendants, but attempted to appeal the motion court’s statement that “the plaintiff is unable to establish where she fell:”

The plaintiff commenced this action to recover damages for personal injuries she allegedly sustained in a trip and fall accident. On her appeal from an order which granted the motion of the defendants … for summary judgment dismissing the complaint … , she concedes that those motions were properly granted. … [S]he challenges the statement of the Supreme Court that “the plaintiff is unable to establish where she fell.” However, no appeal lies from dicta … . Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed. Kelly v City of New York, 2022 NY Slip Op 00654, Second Dept 2-2-22
