The appeal from so much of the order as directed a hearing is dismissed. There is no appeal as of right from an order which merely directs a hearing to aid in the disposition of a motion, as it does not decide the motion, and does not affect a substantial right, pursuant to CPLR 5701[a][2][v]. Leave to appeal has not been granted.
