Opinion

—In a proceeding, inter alia, to stay arbitration of a claim for uninsured motorist benefits, the petitioner appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (McCarty, J.), dated August 21, 1997, which denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
