In the Matter of Allstate Insurance Company,

petitioner-respondent, v Li-Wei Shi, respondent,

Metlife Auto & Home, et al., appellants.

(Index No. 31931/09)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellants to stay all proceedings in the above-entitled matter, including a framed issue hearing, pending hearing and determination of an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated October 12, 2010.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the appeal from so much of the order dated October 12, 2010, as referred the matter to a judicial hearing officer to hear and report with respect to the issue of insurance coverage is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, on the ground that no appeal lies as of right from an order which directs a hearing to aid in the disposition of a motion (see CPLR 5701[a][2][v]; Bagdy v Progresso Foods Corp., 86 AD2d 589), and we decline to grant leave to appeal; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is denied.

SKELOS, J.P., ANGIOLILLO, DICKERSON and ROMAN, JJ., concur.

Clerk of the Court
