Plaintiff's appeal of the judgment does not bring up for review the motion court's prior order, granting summary judgment for the individual defendants, as it was a final order that dismissed all claims asserted against them as guarantors of the tenant's lease obligations. The subsequent entry of judgment was a mere ministerial act that did not excuse plaintiff's failure to file a notice of appeal of the summary judgment order.
