Henry Mendler, Appellant, v Judith M. Mendler, Respondent. (Action No. 1.) Judith M. Mendler, Respondent, v Henry Mendler, Appellant. (Action No. 2.) Judith M. Mendler, Respondent, v Henry Mendler, Appellant. (Action No. 3.)

Opinion:
Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered July 27, 1976, denying Henry Mendler's motion for direction of a joint trial of Action No. 3 with Actions Nos. 1 and 2, unanimously affirmed, without costs and without disbursements. Judith M. Mendler has adequately shown that joinder would prejudice her in that it would delay disposition of Actions Nos. 1 and 2 while awaiting the extensive pretrial procedures that will be necessary in Action No. 3. Thus, apart from the reason stated by Special Term for its denial, a similar result is mandated. Concur—Murphy, J. P., Birns, Capozzoli, Lane and Lynch, JJ.
