CIVIL PROCEDURE
07-2-4429 Yakushko v. Franklin Collision Inc., App. Div. (per curiam) (4 pp.) According to plaintiff’s unopposed brief on appeal, plaintiff filed a complaint in the Special Civil Part alleging that he was the rightful owner of a used car that a friend had conveyed to him a few days before the friend died. Plaintiff claimed that he had obtained title in his name in Pennsylvania, where he lives, and that defendant repair shop refused to turn the car over to him. Defendant contended that $5,000 in repair charges were owed for the car and that the decedent’s daughter also claimed ownership. The daughter testified for the defense that, as her father’s heir, she was the rightful owner and that the surrogate’s court in New York had granted her title to the car. After hearing testimony, the trial judge dismissed plaintiff’s claim to ownership as unproven. Plaintiff then filed this appeal. Due to various procedural deficiencies, the appellate panel dismisses the appeal.
