Opinion

Submitted February 2, 2000

March 17, 2000

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Cowhey, J.), entered March 30, 1999, which granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to serve a notice of claim pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-e Gen. Mun., and denied her cross motion for leave to serve a late notice of claim, and (2) a judgment of the same court, dated April 27, 1999, dismissing the complaint.

Cornelius W. Keane, White Plains, N.Y., for appellant.

Nesci, Keane, Piekarski, Keogh Corrigan, White Plains, N Y (Vincent P. Nesci of counsel), for respondent.

DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., THOMAS R. SULLIVAN, SONDRA MILLER, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the appeal from the order is dismissed; and it is further,

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed; and it is further,

ORDERED that the defendant is awarded one bill of costs.

The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action (see, Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment (see, CPLR 5501 N.Y.CPLR[a][1]).

An application to extend the time within which to serve a notice of claim must be made no later than one year and 90 days after the accrual of the cause of action (see, Pierson v. City of New York, 56 N.Y.2d 950; Matter of Schmidt v. Board of Coop. Educ. Servs. of Nassau County, 253 A.D.2d 433; Perry v. City of New York, 238 A.D.2d 326;Bell v. Town of Oyster Bay, 233 A.D.2d 282). It is undisputed that the plaintiff was injured on April 16, 1996, and did not move for leave to serve a late notice of claim until December 9, 1998. Under those circumstances, the court properly denied her motion.

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.

RITTER, J.P., SULLIVAN, S. MILLER, LUCIANO, and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
