In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Joseph, J.), entered May 18, 2000, which denied her motion pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(1) to vacate an order of the same court, dated May 19, 1999, dismissing the action on the court's own motion pursuant to CPLR 3216.
Steven Siegel, P.C., Kew Gardens, N.Y., for appellant.
Harris Beach, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Frederick H. Fern of counsel), for respondent Ted Hoyer Co., Inc.
Chesney Murphy, LLP, Baldwin, N.Y. (Lysaght Russo [Michelle S. Russo] of counsel), for respondent Continued Care of L.I., Inc.
Before: SONDRA MILLER, J.P., LEO F. McGINITY, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, SANDRA L. TOWNES, JJ.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiff's motion to vacate her default in filing a note of issue, as she failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for her default (see Wynne v. Wagner, 262 A.D.2d 556; Roussodimou v. Zafiriadis, 238 A.D.2d 568).
S. MILLER, J.P., McGINITY, SCHMIDT and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
