Driscoll v. Delarosa

An order declining to sign an order to show cause is not appealable (CPLR 5701 [a] [2]; Heath v Wojtowicz, 48 AD3d 214 [2008], lv denied 10 NY3d 708 [2008]). We would add that to the extent plaintiff seeks damages against the State, Supreme Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction (Court of Claims Act §§ 8, 9; Pollicina v Misericordia Hosp. Med. Ctr., 82 NY2d 332, 339 n 3 [1993]). Concur — Andrias, J.P, Nardelli, Sweeny, DeGrasse and Freedman, JJ.
