Maria Fava, et al., respondents, v City of New

(Index No. 13572/00)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondents on an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County, dated November 5, 2003, to vacate any automatic stay which may be in effect pursuant to CPLR 5519(a)(1) and Public Authorities Law § 1212-a(3).

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is denied as academic.

The only portion of the order appealed from which is subject to an automatic stay pursuant to CPLR 5519(a)(1) and Public Authorities Law § 1212-a(3) is the provision which directs the appellants to turn over certain documents (see Schwartz v New York City Housing Authority, 219 AD2d 47; Shorten v City of White Plains, 216 AD2d 344). Since the respondents agree to proceed to trial without the subject documents, the motion to vacate the automatic stay has been rendered academic.
