Opinion Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen Bransten, J.), entered on or about November 12, 2015, which declined to sign petitioner's order to show cause seeking a stay of an arbitration, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as taken from a nonappealable paper.
The court's order declining to sign petitioner's order to show cause is not appealable (M & J Trimming v. Kew Mgt. Corp., 254 A.D.2d 21, 677 N.Y.S.2d 789 [1st Dept.1998] ; see also McKanic v. Amigos del Museo del Barrio, 74 A.D.3d 639, 903 N.Y.S.2d 394 [1st Dept.2010], appeal dismissed 16 N.Y.3d 849, 922 N.Y.S.2d 264, 947 N.E.2d 155 [2011], lv. denied 17 N.Y.3d 705, 2011 WL 2567254 [2011], rearg. denied 17 N.Y.3d 856, 930 N.Y.S.2d 550, 954 N.E.2d 1176 [2011] ; CPLR 5701[a][2] ).
Even if the matter were properly before us, we would find that petitioner is not entitled to a stay of the pending arbitration between the parties (see CPLR 7503[b], 7502[b] ). The amended statement of claim filed in the arbitration is timely, since it simply provides more details to support the timely original claim (see Robinson v. Canniff, 22 A.D.3d 219, 220, 801 N.Y.S.2d 597 [1st Dept.2005] ).
