IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM DELANOY, APPELLANT, v. ANDREW P. O'ROURKE, ET AL., RESPONDENTS-RESPONDENTS, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, the order to show cause signed by Justice Nastasi on October 6, 2000, is vacated, the order to show cause signed by Justice Bellantoni on October 4, 2000, is reinstated, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Westchester County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.

A court of coordinate jurisdiction has no authority to rule on a matter already reviewed by another Judge of equal authority (see, Belcher Company of N. Y. v. City of New York, 157 A.D.2d 585, 586; Kleinberg v. American Mayflower Life Ins. Co. of N. Y., 106 A.D.2d 268). Therefore, the order to show cause signed by Justice Nastasi is vacated and the order to show cause signed by Justice Bellantoni is reinstated. Since the petitioner timely served the respondents with the petition pursuant to Justice Bellantoni's order to show cause, this matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Westchester County, for a hearing and determination on the merits.
