In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for negligence and defamation, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Burke, J.), dated December 22, 2000, which denied his motion to restore the action to the trial calendar.
Eliot F. Bloom, Mineola, N.Y., appellant pro se.
Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman Dicker, LLP, White Plains, N.Y. (Bryon L. Friedman of counsel), for respondent.
A. GAIL PRUDENTI, P.J., ANITA R. FLORIO, SONDRA MILLER, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, and THOMAS A. ADAMS, JJ.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements, in light of our determination in the companion appeal of Bloom v. Primus Automotive Financial Services, Inc., 292 A.D.2d 410 [decided herewith]).
