In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants appeal, as limited by their brief, from (1) so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Velasquez, J.), entered January 23, 2015, as denied those branches of their motion which were to vacate the note of issue and, in effect, to compel the plaintiff to provide certain discovery and to compel an independent medical examination of Seelochanie Bundhoo, and (2) so much of an order of the same court entered July 7, 2015, as denied that branch of their motion which was for leave to reargue that branch of their prior motion which was to vacate the note of issue, and, in effect, upon granting that branch of their motion which was for leave to reargue those branches of their prior motion which were, in effect, to compel the plaintiff to provide certain discovery and to compel an independent medical examination of Seelochanie Bundhoo, adhered to its original determination denying those branches of their prior motion.
