DECISION & ORDER
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Robert I. Caloras, J.), dated March 29, 2019. The order granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is denied.
The Supreme Court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the grounds of res judicata and collateral estoppel, based on an order dated November 6, 2018, granting that branch of their motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint in a related action entitled Fox v. Murgolo, commenced under Queens County Index No. 701497/14 (hereinafter the November 6, 2018 order). The plaintiff appeals.
In a related appeal (see Fox v. Murgolo, 191 A.D.3d 765, ––– N.Y.S.3d ––– [decided herewith]) this Court reversed so much of the November 6, 2018 order as granted that branch of the defendants’ motion. Accordingly, the order appealed from in this action must also be reversed (see 77 Water St., Inc. v JTC Painting & Decorating Corp., 148 A.D.3d 1092, 1095–1096, 50 N.Y.S.3d 471 ).
