Express Co., 265 U.S. 425, 435, 44 S.Ct. 560, 564, 68 L.Ed. 1087 (1924) (“[T]he appellee may not attack the decree [of the district court] with a view either to enlarging his own rights thereunder or of lessening the rights of his adversary” unless the appellee cross-appeals.); Tranello v. Frey, 962 F.2d 244, 248 (2d Cir.1992) (<HOLDING>); Freeman v. B&B Assocs., 790 F.2d 145, 151
