DECISION & ORDER

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for legal malpractice, the defendants appeal from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Roy S. Mahon J.), entered December 10, 2021, and (2) an order of the same court entered October 6, 2022. The order entered December 10, 2021, granted the plaintiffs' motion, among other things, for leave to amend the complaint and denied the defendants' cross-motion pursuant to CPLR 2201 to stay the action. The order entered October 6, 2022, insofar as appealed from, denied the defendants' motion, inter alia, pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) to dismiss the amended complaint and for leave to renew their prior motion, among other things, pursuant to CPLR 3012(b) to dismiss the action for failure to timely serve a complaint, which had been denied in an order of the same court dated March 31, 2021.

ORDERED that the appeals are dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

The appeals must be dismissed as academic in light of our determination on a related appeal (see DiCarlo v Russo Law Group, P.C., _____ AD3d _____ [Appellate Division Docket No. 2021-03090; decided herewith]).
