In re the Estate of Vetri
In a proceeding commenced by the administrator of the estate of Peter Vetri for permission to sell a certain parcel of real property, Peter T. Vetri, as executor of the estate of Angela Vetri, the wife of Peter Vetri, appeals from an order of the Surrogate’s Court, Kings County (Bloom, S.), dated February 2, 1993, which granted the administrator’s petition seeking permission to sell the real property and canceled the notice of pendency filed against the real property by Angela Vetri in a related action.
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic, with costs payable by the appellant personally.
The real property in question was sold after the Surrogate’s Court canceled the notice of pendency. Thus, the propriety of the order appealed from is academic.
