Law Office of Harriette N. Boxer, Bayshore (Harriette N. Boxer of counsel), for appellants.

Law Office of Sheldon H. Gopstein, New York (Sheldon H. Gopstein of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Melissa A. Crane, J.), entered on or about January 29, 2021, to the extent it ordered that discovery would not be stayed pending dispositive motions, unanimously dismissed, with costs, as academic.

Supreme Court having decided the only dispositive motion pending when defendants sought the stay, i.e., a motion to dismiss the complaint as against the individual defendants, by order entered July 2, 2021, the order on appeal is presently moot (see E-Z Eating 41 Corp. v H.E. Newport L.L.C., 84 AD3d 401 [1st Dept 2011]). No exception to the mootness doctrine applies (see Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715 [1980]). Concur—Acosta, P.J., Manzanet-Daniels, Kern, Oing, Kennedy, JJ.
