180 A.D.2d 617 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

February 3, 1992.

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Vinik, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff proffered a reasonable excuse for the delay in serving her notice of claim one day late, the delay was minimal, and there was no prejudice to the defendant. Consequently, the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in granting the plaintiff the requested relief (see, General Municipal Law § 50-e; Matter of Cicio v. City of New York, 98 A.D.2d 38). Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, Balletta and Ritter, JJ., concur.
