Xiu Jian Sun, appellant pro se.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Donna Mills, J.), entered on or about May 1, 2018, which granted defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Gerald Lebovits, J.), entered April 30, 2018, which sua sponte dismissed the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Construing the pleadings liberally, accepting all the facts alleged in the complaints to be true and according plaintiff the benefit of every possible favorable inference (see generally Leon v Martinez , 84 NY2d 83, 87-88 [1994]), there are simply no causes
of action against defendants that are discernible from the complaints.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
