To the extent that plaintiff seeks affirmative relief, such as sanctions and striking of defendants' answer, in his opposition to defendants' motion to compel, the Appellate Division declines to grant that relief, as plaintiff did not cross-move for it before the motion court. Similarly, the Appellate Division declines plaintiff's request to vacate prior orders, as plaintiff did not take an appeal from them.
