Plaintiff's motion for sanctions was granted on default and, as such, was non-appealable, pursuant to CPLR 5511. Defendant's one-page email to plaintiff's counsel discussing various housekeeping issues, with a mention of the pending discovery dispute, which was never filed, did not constitute opposition to the motion for sanctions. In addition, it did it comply with the court's order to respond to the motion.
