Memorandum: We affirm, for reasons stated in the decision at Supreme Court (Fahey, J.), the order granting that part of the cross motion of defendant Security Mutual Insurance Company (Security Mutual) seeking dismissal of the second cause of action. In that cause of action, plaintiff sought a decíaration that Security Mutual is required to submit to an appraisal pursuant to Insurance Law § 3404 (g). We add only that Insurance Law § 3404, in its present form, does not eliminate the prohibition against seeking specific performance of the appraisal provision in the standard fire insurance policy set forth in CPLR 7601. Further legislative action is required to eliminate that prohibition. Present — Pine, J.P., Scudder, Kehoe, Burns and Gorski, JJ.
