     Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Onondaga County (John
C. Cherundolo, A.J.), entered April 6, 2012. The order, among other
things, denied the motion of defendants for a protective order,
granted the cross motion of plaintiffs to compel discovery and stayed
the pending arbitration.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is
unanimously reversed on the law without costs, the cross motion is
denied and the stay is vacated.

     Same Memorandum as in AXA Equit. Life Ins. Co. v Kalina ([appeal
No. 1] ___ AD3d ___ [Dec. 21, 2012]).
