(APPEAL NO. 2.)

LAWRENCE J. KONCELIK, JR., EAST HAMPTON, FOR RESPONDENTS-APPELLANTS.

PHILLIPS LYTLE LLP, BUFFALO (AMANDA L. LOWE OF COUNSEL), FOR
PETITIONERS-RESPONDENTS.

     Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Diane Y.
Devlin, J.), entered May 5, 2015. The order, among other things,
granted petitioners’ motion for attorneys’ fees and costs and denied
respondents’ cross motion to disgorge fees.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is
unanimously modified on the law by denying that part of the motion
seeking attorneys’ fees and costs, and as modified the order is
affirmed without costs, and the matter is remitted to Supreme Court,
Erie County, for a determination of reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs in accordance with the same memorandum as in Matter of HSBC Bank
USA, N.A. (Campbell) ([appeal No. 1] ___ AD3d ___ [May 5, 2017]).

Entered:    May 5, 2017                          Frances E. Cafarell
                                                 Clerk of the Court
