    DECISION & ORDER

    In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for defamation, the plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Timothy J. Dufficy, J.), entered April 10, 2017. The order, insofar as appealed from, in effect, upon renewal and reargument, adhered to a prior determination of the same court entered April 21, 2016, denying the plaintiffs' motion to extend the time to complete discovery and to file a note of issue and directing that the plaintiffs were precluded from offering any evidence at trial.

    ORDERED that the appeal from the order entered April 10, 2017, is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

    The appeal from the order entered April 10, 2017, must be dismissed as academic in light of our determination on a related appeal (see Kim & Bae, P.C. v Sunki Lee, ___ AD3d ___ [Appellate Division Docket No. 2016-04892; decided herewith]).

    CHAMBERS, J.P., HINDS-RADIX, LASALLE and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur.
