     Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Diane Y.
Devlin, J.), entered August 11, 2015. The order denied the motion of
plaintiff to amend the complaint, granted the cross motions of
defendants Grace Manor Health Care Facility, Inc., Nelda Lawler, M.D.,
and Teresa Chau, M.D., for costs, and enjoined plaintiff from
initiating further proceedings without prior leave of the court.

     It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed
with costs (see Hughes v Nussbaumer, Clarke & Velzy, 140 AD2d 988;
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. v Roberts & Roberts, 63 AD2d 566, 567; see
also CPLR 5501 [a] [1]).
