Opinion
October 6, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Forma, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Denman, Boomer, Green and Davis, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: We agree with Supreme Court that defendants did not abandon their counterclaim; thus, the protective order was properly denied. Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment dismissing the counterclaim was properly denied because it was untimely made. The motion was made on only two days' notice and defendant did not have an adequate opportunity to submit answering affidavits (see, Burstin v Public Serv. Mut. Ins. Co., 98 A.D.2d 928; Siegel, Practice Commentaries, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 7B, CPLR C2214:12).
