DECISION & ORDER

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Sylvia G. Ash, J.), dated January 23, 2018. The order, insofar as appealed from, upon reargument, in effect, vacated a determination in an order of the same court dated October 12, 2017, denying the defendants' motion to quash certain subpoenas, and thereupon granted that motion.

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

In light of our determination on the related appeal of Farro v Schochet (___ AD3d ___ [Appellate Division Docket No. 2017-10401; decided herewith]), we dismiss this appeal as academic.

MASTRO, A.P.J., CHAMBERS, BRATHWAITE NELSON and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
