ENDORSEMENT
1Before Benotto J.A., Ms. Samuel sought an extension of time to appeal the order of Barnes J., setting aside the stay of execution of a Writ of Possession that had been obtained ex parte without full disclosure, and a stay pending appeal.
2Benotto J.A. granted a stay pending appeal on the condition that Ms. Samuel pay outstanding rent within 14 days, failing which the moving party could bring a motion to quash the appeal. Ms. Samuel did not bring a motion before a panel to review or vary the order of Benotto J.A. and counsel for Ms. Samuel acknowledges that she did not repay the outstanding rent. The moving party accordingly moves before this panel for an order quashing Ms. Samuel’s appeal of the order of Barnes J.
3As Ms. Samuel did not comply with the condition imposed by Benotto J.A., there is currently no stay in effect and Ms. Samuel is out of time to appeal the order of Barnes J.
4The appeal of Barnes J.’s order has become moot. The appeal is accordingly quashed.
5Costs of this motion and the motion before Benotto J.A. are fixed in the aggregate amount of $15,000, inclusive of disbursements and HST.
