United States Fire Insurance Company et al. v Michael Palin et al.
Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 06080
Holding The appeal was dismissed as taken from a nonappealable paper because an order declining to sign an order to show cause is an ex parte order that does not decide a motion made on notice. The court also declined to grant leave to appeal in the interest of justice, finding that the plaintiffs’ expenditure of resources to perfect the appeal did not constitute a unique circumstance warranting such relief.
