Harvey Ellner, et al., appellants,

v Nathan Schwed, et al., respondents.

(Index No. 11641/02)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellants to stay the trial in the above-entitled action pending hearing and determination of appeals from two orders of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated September 5, 2006, and January 24, 2007, respectively, and to consolidate the appeals.

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 stay the trial is granted and the trial in the above-entitled action is stayed pending hearing and determination of the appeals on condition that the appeals are perfected on or before April 13, 2007; and it is further,

ORDERED that in the event the appeals are not perfected on or before April 13, 2007, the court, on its own motion, may vacate the stay, or the respondents may move to vacate the stay, on three days notice; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to consolidate the appeals is denied as unnecessary as the appeals may be consolidated as of right (see 22 NYCRR 670.7[c][1]).

SPOLZINO, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, FISHER and McCARTHY, JJ., concur.
