DECISION & ORDER

In an action to recover damages for breach of a title insurance policy, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Elizabeth H. Emerson, J.), dated August 2, 2017. The order, insofar as appealed from, denied the defendant's motion for leave to amend the answer.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements, in light of our determination on two related appeals (see JGBR, LLC v Chicago Title Ins. Co., _____ AD3d _____ [Appellate Division Docket Nos. 2018-13829, 2018-13831; decided herewith]).
