There is no appeal as of right from an order that does not decide a motion on notice, pursuant to CPLR 5701 [a] [2]. However, in the interest of judicial economy, the Appellate Division may exercise its discretion and deem the notice of appeal to be a motion for leave to appeal, and grant that motion, pursuant to CPLR 5701[c].
