Pursuant to CPLR 2201, Supreme Court may stay an action pending before it "upon such terms as may be just," and the court has broad discretion to grant a stay in order to avoid the risk of inconsistent adjudications, duplication of proof, and the waste of judicial resources. Here, the first-in-time holdover proceeding involves the same parties and both proceedings require the resolution of questions arising from defendant's occupancy of the apartment. A stay is appropriate.
