Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The plaintiffs appeal from the trial court's discharge of a lis pendens which had been filed against real property owned by the defendants pursuant to General Statutes § 52-325.
On January 6, 1986, after a hearing held in accordance with General Statutes § 52-325a, the trial court found no probable cause to sustain the lis pendens and granted the defendants' motion to discharge it. General Statutes § 52-325c (b) provides in pertinent part: "No appeal shall be taken from such order except within seven days thereof." The plaintiffs' appeal, therefore, absent a proper extension of time to file an appeal, should have been filed on or before January 13, 1986. The plaintiffs did not file this appeal until January 21, 1986. " ' "The right of appeal is purely statutory and is accorded only if the conditions fixed by statute and the rules of court for taking and prosecut ing the appeal are met." ' " DeTeves v. DeTeves, 202 Conn. 292, 295, 520 A.2d 608 (1987). Since this appeal is not timely, it is dismissed.
The appeal is dismissed.
