Opinion of the Court

—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the defendants New *366York City Transit Authority and Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Garson, J.), dated October 8, 1997, which granted the plaintiffs’ motion to reargue their prior motion to vacate a purported settlement and, upon reargument, granted the plaintiffs’ motion to vacate the purported settlement and restored the action to the court calendar.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

P., Thompson, Pizzuto, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
