Disposition

Reasons

  • The Court, consisting of Judge James J. Wechsler, with Judges Jonathan B. Sutin and Roderick T. Kennedy concurring, decided to dismiss the appeal due to the lack of a final, appealable order. This decision was supported by a joint memorandum from the parties agreeing to the proposed dismissal. The Court retained the record for a reasonable period for use in any subsequent appeal that might result from the case once a final, appealable order is filed. The parties were ordered to notify the Court if the case resolves in mediation or otherwise, or once it is known that no further appeals will be filed (para 1).
