Opinion
October 11, 1994
Appeal from the Court of Claims (Silverman, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Under the circumstances of this case, we find that the Court of Claims did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the claimant's motion to vacate the dismissal of her claim, because the claimant offered no reasonable excuse for failing to appear for a scheduled conference and failed to demonstrate that she had a meritorious cause of action (see, 22 NYCRR 206.10 [k]; Putney v. Pearlman, 203 A.D.2d 333; Matter of Raymond Anthony A., 192 A.D.2d 529). Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Altman, Hart and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
