DECISION & ORDER

In related proceedings pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the mother appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (IDV Part) (Esther M. Morgenstern, J.), dated May 24, 2021. The order dismissed the mother's petition to transfer jurisdiction over her petition to modify a final order of custody and visitation of the same court dated October 15, 2015, to Pennsylvania, without prejudice, upon the mother's failure to appear for a scheduled court date, and suspended the mother's visitation with the parties' children.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs and disbursements.

The mother's appeal from the order dated May 24, 2021, must be dismissed since it was rendered upon her failure to appear and no appeal lies from an order made on the default of the appealing party (see Matter of Jones v Spain, 188 AD3d 1209; Matter of Li Wong v Fen Liu, 121 AD3d 692, 693).

CONNOLLY, J.P., ROMAN, CHRISTOPHER and FORD, JJ., concur.
