Clements v. Mantegna

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 7, 1978
64 A.D.2d 809 (N.Y. App. Div. 1978)

Opinion

July 7, 1978

Appeal from the Monroe Supreme Court.

Present — Marsh, P.J., Cardamone, Dillon, Hancock, Jr., and Witmer, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: It appears that plaintiff was most diligent in seeking to expedite prosecution of his action. Any delay in serving bills of particulars and the default resulting therefrom was not due in any respect to plaintiff's conduct. In view of the plaintiff's apparent lack of intent deliberately to default or abandon the action and the lack of undue delay and resulting prejudice to the opposing parties we find no abuse of discretion on the part of Special Term to warrant a reversal of its order (see Kahn v Stamp, 52 A.D.2d 748).
