DECISION & ORDER

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals, and the defendants City of New York, New York City Department of Transportation, and Conti of New York, LLC, cross-appeal, from an order the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Thomas P. Aliotta, J.), dated November 25, 2015. The order, insofar as appealed from, granted those branches of the motion of those defendants which were for summary judgment dismissing the Labor Law § 200 and common-law negligence causes of action insofar as asserted against them. The order, insofar as cross-appealed from, denied that branch of the motion of those defendants which was for summary judgment dismissing the Labor Law § 241(6) cause of action insofar as asserted against them. ORDERED that the appeal and cross appeal are dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The appeal and cross appeal from the order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of a judgment in the action on May 5, 2017 (see Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248, 383 N.Y.S.2d 285, 347 N.E.2d 647 ). The issues raised on the appeal and cross appeal from the order, to the extent that they have not been rendered academic, are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment (see CPLR 5501[a][1] ; Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d at 248, 383 N.Y.S.2d 285, 347 N.E.2d 647 ; Sikorjak v. City of New York, ––– A.D.3d ––––, ––– N.Y.S.3d ––––, 2019 WL 138357 [Appellate Division Docket No. 2017–07561 ; decided herewith] ).

BALKIN, J.P., LEVENTHAL, MILLER and MALTESE, JJ., concur.
