Motion by the appellants to consolidate appeals from five orders of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, one dated January 28, 2020, and four dated February 14, 2020, and to stay the trial in the above-entitled actions pending hearing and determination of 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 consolidate the appeals is denied as unnecessary, as the appeals may be consolidated as of right (see 22 NYCRR 1250.9[f][3]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied.

BALKIN, J.P., LEVENTHAL, MILLER and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
