2996-2997-2998. SPYRIDON LIVATHINOS, plf-ap, v. ROBERTA F. VAUGHAN, ETC. def-res — Goldberg & Lasson, Brooklyn (Donald Drew Goldberg of counsel), for ap — Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo & Terrana, LLP, Uniondale (Jeffrey G. Stark of counsel), for Roberta F. Vaughan and 287 Realty Corp., res — Ackerman, Levine, Cullen, Brickman & Limmer, LLP, Great Neck (John M. Brickman of counsel), for James S. Vaughan, res — Appeal from judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen A. Rakower, J.), entered October 26, 2015, awarding defendants costs and disbursements, and dismissing plaintiff’s consolidated amended complaint with prejudice pursuant to an order, same court and Justice, entered September 9, 2015, which, among other things, sua sponte dismissed the consolidated amended complaint, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as taken from a nonappealable paper. Appeal from aforementioned order, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as subsumed in the appeal from the judgment and as taken from a nonappealable order. Appeal from order, same court and Justice, entered September 9, 2015, which granted defendants’ motion to, among other things, release escrow funds to defendant Trinity Stewart Associates, Inc., unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.

There is no right to appeal from a judgment that is based upon a sua sponte order; nor is there a right to appeal from the sua sponte order itself (see Hladun-Goldmann v. Rentsch Assoc., 8 AD3d 73, 73 [1st Dept 2004]). We decline to treat plaintiff’s notice of appeal as an application for leave to appeal (see CPLR 5701[c]).
