Appeals from two orders of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated August 5, 2024, and November 26, 2024, respectively.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the cross-motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, it is
