Head Matter:
Helen J. Mulhern, Respondent, v. John E. Mulhern, Appellant. (Action No. 1.) John E. Mulhern, Appellant, v. Helen J. Mulhern, Respondent. (Action No. 2.)

Opinion:
Order appealed from unanimously reversed and motion for a stay of Action No. 1 until the trial and determination of Action No. 2 granted. Should either party prevail upon his or her affirmative cause of action in Action No. 2, it would render unnecessary the further prosecution of Action No. 1 in the event the latter cause survives a motion to dismiss the complaint. Respondent may move to vacate the stay in the event the husband does not proceed expeditiously to the trial of Action No. 2.
