(Index No. 38947/06)

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, Kings County, dated June 24, 2016, and June 29, 2016, respectively, for a preference in the calendaring of the appeals, pursuant to CPLR 5520 to extend the time to file the notices of appeals from the orders, 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 October 11, 2016; and it is further,

ORDERED that in the event the appeals are not perfected on or before October 11, 2016, the Court, on its own motion, may vacate the stay, without further notice, or the respondent may move to vacate the stay, on three days notice; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is pursuant to CPLR 5520 to extend the time to file the notices of appeals from the orders, which were timely served, is granted and the appellants shall file the notices of appeals and file proof of filing on or before September 19, 2016; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to consolidate the appeals is denied as unnecessary as the appeals can be consolidated as of right (see 22 NYCRR 670.7 [c]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied.

ENG, P.J., LEVENTHAL, HINDS-RADIX and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
