(Index No. 44769/01)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellants on an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated February 4, 2005, to strike portions of the respondent's brief on the ground that it raises issues which were not raised in the Supreme Court, and to enlarge the time to serve and file a reply brief.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to strike portions of the respondent's brief is referred to the panel of Justices hearing the appeal for determination upon the argument or submission of the appeal; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to enlarge the time to serve and file a reply brief is denied as academic, as the reply brief has been timely filed.

FLORIO, J.P., RITTER, GOLDSTEIN and COVELLO, JJ., concur.
