Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Melvin L. Schweitzer, J.), entered December 3, 2014, which granted defendants' motion for a stay of the action pending the resolution of previously filed litigation in the United Kingdom, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Ins. Co. v Colgate—Palmolive Co., 96 AD3d 541 [1st Dept 2012]; Belopolsky v Renew Data Corp., 41 AD3d 322 [1st Dept 2007]).
