In the Matter of Fred Giancola et al., Appellants, v Deborah Whitman, Respondent, et al., Respondents.
[899 NYS2d 897]

Opinion:
In a holdover proceeding to recover possession of certain leased premises, the petitioners appeal, by permission, from an order of the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial Districts dated August 19, 2008, which affirmed an order of the Civil Court, Kings County (Milin, J.), dated April 3, 2007, granting the motion of Deborah Whitman to dismiss the petition.
Ordered that the order dated August 19, 2008, is reversed, on the law, with costs, the order dated April 3, 2007, is reversed, the motion of Deborah Whitman to dismiss the petition is denied, and the matter is remitted to the Civil Court, Kings County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.
For reasons stated in our decision and order on the companion appeal (see Matter of Giancola v Middleton, 73 AD3d 1056 [2010] [decided herewith]), the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial Districts erred in affirming the order of the Civil Court granting Deborah Whitman's motion to dismiss the petition in this holdover proceeding. Dillon, J.P., Miller, Eng and Roman, JJ., concur.
