Bork v. City of New York , 655 N.Y.S.2d 32 ( 1997 )

Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Phyllis Gangel-Jacob, J.), entered on or about August 6, 1996, which, insofar as appealed from, directed plaintiff, "[i]n the event that [he] decides to produce a vocational expert to testify to his inability or limited ability to be employed”, to produce a copy of his vocational expert’s report and to submit to an examination by defendant’s vocational expert, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as taken from a nonappealable order.

The subject preliminary conference order is nonappealable since it was not made on notice (see, Everitt v Health Maintenance Ctr., 86 AD2d 224). Were we to consider the merits, we would affirm, finding no improvident exercise of discretion by the motion court. Concur—Murphy, P. J., Sullivan, Milonas and Tom, JJ.
