(NYSCEF Doc No. 15.) This had the effect of staying the proceeding until such time as the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (“OTDA”) rendered a decision on her appeal.

The appeal was denied on April 25, 2023. On May 17, 2023, petitioner moved to restore the proceeding to the trial calendar and to vacate the ERAP stay.
