Opinion
April 1, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Miller, J.).
Order affirmed, insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Special Term properly exercised its discretion in denying plaintiffs' motion for a joint trial. Involved are separate, unrelated accidents and separate trials will enable the juries to focus on the factual issues presented as to each accident (CPLR 602; Abbatepaolo v. Blumberg, 7 A.D.2d 847; Pride v. Perras, 6 A.D.2d 842; cf. Doll v. Castiglione, 86 A.D.2d 711). Mollen, P.J., Titone, Lazer and Rubin, JJ., concur.
