104 A.D.3d 559 960 N.Y.S.2d 646

In the Matter of Stephen M. Smith, Appellant, v New York County District Attorney’s Office, Respondent.

[960 NYS2d 646]

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Larry Stephen, J.), *560entered on or about October 10, 2012, which directed respondent-appellant to appear as a witness to testify in a criminal proceeding in an Indiana court, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, the petition denied and the special proceeding brought pursuant to CPL 640.10 dismissed.

The New York District Attorney’s Office concedes that its failure to serve respondent as directed by its order to show cause, which required service of the papers supporting the order, resulted in a lack of personal jurisdiction over respondent (see CPLR 403 [d]; 2214 [d]). Accordingly, denial of the petition and dismissal of the proceeding is warranted (see Matter of Ruine v Hines, 57 AD3d 369 [1st Dept 2008]; Matter of Feldman v Feldman, 54 AD3d 372, 373 [2d Dept 2008]). Concur — Tom, J.P, Mazzarelli, Saxe, Moskowitz and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
