DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant to stay enforcement of two orders of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated June 19, 2007, and December 19, 2007, respectively, pending hearing and determination of appeals therefrom, to consolidate the appeals, and to enlarge the time to perfect the appeal from the order dated June 19, 2007.

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 enforcement of the orders is denied; 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]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to enlarge the time to perfect the appeal from the order dated June 19, 2007 (Appellate Division Docket No. 2007-06742), is granted, the appellant's time to perfect the appeal is enlarged until March 17, 2008, and the record or appendix on the appeal and the appellant's brief must be served and filed on or before that date.
