Appellate practice.

Thre is no appeal from a judgment entered upon the default of the appealing party, pursuant to CPLR 5511. However, an appeal from a judgment entered upon the default of the appealing party brings up for review those matters which were the subject of contest before the Supreme Court.  As a general rule, the Appellate Division will not consider issues raised on a subsequent appeal that were raised, or could have been raised, on an earlier appeal which was dismissed for lack of prosecution, although it has inherent jurisdiction to do so.
