The limited appeal from the order must be dismissed, pursuant to CPLR 5511, on the ground that the defendant-appellant is not aggrieved by the portion of the order appealed from. While the Supreme Court denied several branches of the defendant's motion, the appeal is based solely on the branch of the motion that the court granted. As the successful party, the defendant obtained the full relief sought in that branch of his motion, and, therefore, has no grounds to appeal from that portion of the order.
