Opinion
March 31, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Sullivan County (Torraca, J.).
Plaintiff contends that Supreme Court erred in granting defendants' motion to amend the answer to plead the Statute of Limitations. In the absence of any claim of surprise or prejudice by plaintiff, we conclude that Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion (see, Fahey v. County of Ontario, 44 N.Y.2d 934; Kramer Sons v. Facilities Dev. Corp., 135 A.D.2d 942; Aetna Cas. Sur. Co. v. Sheldon, 124 A.D.2d 428).
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Weiss and Yesawich Jr., JJ., concur. Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
