In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 75 to permanently stay arbitration of a claim for uninsured motorist benefits, Prec Gjonaj and Lena Popovic appeal (1) from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Friedman, J.H.O.), dated January 11, 2006, which granted the petition, and (2), as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the same court entered March 31, 2006, as, upon reargument, in effect, adhered to the prior determination, and the petitioner cross-appeals from so much of the order entered March 31, 2006, as, upon reargument, struck the word “permanently” from the order dated January 11, 2006.

Ordered that the appeal from the order dated January 11, 2006 is dismissed, as that order was superseded by the order entered March 31, 2006, made upon reargument; and it is further,

Ordered that the order entered March 31, 2006 is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law and the facts, and upon re-argument, the order dated January 11, 2006 is vacated, the petition is denied, and the proceeding is dismissed; and it is further,

Ordered that the cross appeal is dismissed as academic in light of our determination on the appeal; and it is further,

Ordered that one bill of costs is awarded to the appellants-respondents.
