SHACKLEFORD v. GEORGE MILLS

Order affirmed, insofar as appealed from, with costs.

Special Term properly exercised its discretion in denying plaintiffs' motion for a joint trial. Involved are separate, unrelated accidents and separate trials will enable the juries to focus on the factual issues presented as to each accident (CPLR 602; Abbatepaolo v. Blumberg, 7 A.D.2d 847; Pride v. Perras, 6 A.D.2d 842; cf. Doll v. Castiglione, 86 A.D.2d 711). Mollen, P.J., Titone, Lazer and Rubin, JJ., concur.
