DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant on appeals from two orders of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated November 23, 2005, and November 28, 2005, respectively, inter alia, to stay the entry of judgment on the orders.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the appeal from so much of the order dated November 23, 2005, as granted the respondent's motion for an award of an attorney's fee to the extent of directing an evidentiary hearing is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as no appeal lies as of right from an order which directs a hearing to aid in the disposition of a motion and we decline to grant leave to appeal (see Bagdy v Progresso Foods Corp., 86 AD2d 589); and it is further,

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the appeals from the remaining portions of the order dated November 23, 2005, and the appeal from the order dated November 28, 2005, are dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as those orders were superseded by a judgment of the same court entered November 29, 2005, without prejudice to the appellant taking an appeal from the judgment dated November 29, 2005; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to stay entry of the judgment is denied as academic, as the judgment has been entered; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied as academic in light of our determination of the motion.
