DECISION & ORDER
In an action for a judgment declaring that a memorandum of agreement dated September 15, 2017, is invalid and unenforceable, the plaintiff appeals from an order and judgment (one paper) of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Thomas A. Adams, J.), entered March 12, 2019. The order and judgment, in effect, granted the defendants' motion pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) to dismiss the complaint and to compel arbitration, and, in effect, dismissed the complaint.
ORDERED that the order and judgment is modified, on the law, (1) by deleting the provision thereof, in effect, dismissing the complaint, (2) by deleting the provision thereof granting that branch of the defendants' motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) to dismiss the complaint, and substituting therefor a provision denying that branch of the motion, and (3) by adding thereto a provision staying the action pending arbitration; as so modified, the order and judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
For the reasons stated in County of Nassau v Detectives Assn., Inc., of the Police Dept. of Nassau County (___ AD3d ___ [Appellate Division Docket No. 2019-05753; decided herewith]), we modify the order and judgment by deleting the provision thereof, in effect, dismissing the complaint, by deleting the provision thereof granting that branch of the defendants' motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) to dismiss the complaint and substituting therefor a provision denying that branch of the motion, and by adding thereto a provision staying the action pending arbitration, and we affirm the order and judgment as so modified.
ROMAN, J.P., DUFFY, BARROS and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
