Opinion
August 22, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Bernstein, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
We agree with the Supreme Court that the plaintiffs' method of service was ineffective to acquire personal jurisdiction over the defendant New York News, Inc., and that the action is now time-barred (see, CPLR 311, 312-a [a]; 215 [3]). Sullivan, J.P., Lawrence, Pizzuto, Joy and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
