DECISION & ORDER
In a claim to recover damages for personal injuries, the claimant appeals from an order of the Court of Claims (Walter Rivera, J.), dated April 16, 2021. The order denied the claimant's motion in limine to preclude the testimony of certain nonparty witnesses at trial.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, with costs.
The claimant appeals from an order of the Court of Claims which denied his motion in limine to preclude the testimony of certain nonparty witnesses at trial. The subject determination is an evidentiary ruling. Such a ruling, even when made "in advance of trial on motion papers constitutes, at best, an advisory opinion which is neither appealable as of right nor by permission" (Cotgreave v Public Adm'r of Imperial County [Cal.], 91 AD2d 600, 601; see Bennett v State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 189 AD3d 748, 749; Diller v Munzer, 141 AD3d 630, 630-631). Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed.
BARROS, J.P., MILLER, DOWLING and WARHIT, JJ., concur.
