Ronald S. Hynes, respondent,

v County of Westchester, et al., appellants.

(Index No. 08-13043)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the County of Westchester, Liberty Lines Transit, Inc., and Marc Bonte for leave to appeal to this Court from a decision of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated March 24, 2011, and to stay the trial on the issue of damages in the above-entitled action pending hearing and determination of the appeal.

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 notice of appeal from the decision dated March 24, 2011, is deemed to be a premature notice of appeal from an interlocutory judgment of the same court entered April 27, 2011 (see CPLR 5520[c]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to stay the trial on the issue of damages is denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied as academic.

RIVERA, J.P., SKELOS, FLORIO and AUSTIN, JJ., concur.
