[103 A.D.3d 769]In an action, inter alia, to partition real property and for an accounting, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), dated June 24, 2011, which denied his motion, among other things, to restore the action to the calendar, in effect, to dismiss the counterclaim for partition, and to limit the accounting to the date of the dissolution of the parties' partnership.

The Supreme Court denied the motion. The plaintiff appeals.
