DECISION & ORDER

In an action to recover damages for breach of fiduciary duty, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Jerome C. Murphy, J.), entered March 30, 2018. The order denied the plaintiff's motion for leave to renew his opposition to that branch of the defendant's motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7) to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The appeal is dismissed as academic in light of our determination on the companion appeals (see Baugher v Cullen and Dykman, LLP, _____ AD3d _____ [Appellate Division Docket Nos. 2016-12393; decided herewith]).

SCHEINKMAN, P.J., BALKIN, MILLER and HINDS-RADIX, JJ., concur.
