(Index No. 609904/2018)

Appeals from five orders of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dated August 3, 2020, May 12, 2022, (two orders), May 2, 2023, March 5, 2024, respectively, and a judgment of the same court dated March 5, 2024. By order to show cause dated March 29, 2024, the parties to the appeals were directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeals from the orders dated August 3, 2020, May 12, 2022, and May 2, 2023, on the ground that the right of direct appeal from those orders terminated upon entry in the above-entitled action of the judgment dated March 5, 2024 (see Matter of Aho, 39 NY2d 241).

Upon the order to show cause and the papers filed in response thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is held in abeyance and referred to the panel of Justices hearing the appeals for determination upon the argument or submission thereof; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the appeals will be calendared together and will be argued or submitted on the same date.

DUFFY, J.P., CHRISTOPHER, WARHIT and VOUTSINAS, JJ., concur.
