APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
[1] There is no jurisdiction in this court to hear the instant appeal in that the amount in issue is less than $50,000. Accordingly, we transfer this appeal to the Divisional Court.
[2] In addition to the above, we were provided with a copy of an order of the Supreme Court of the State of New York entered on February 8, 2012, that the default judgment against the appellant was vacated and the complaint against the appellant was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. We were also advised that there are continuing proceedings in this matter. This information will have to be clearly set out for the Divisional Court as the present materials are deficient in this respect.
