Memorandum:

Supreme Court properly granted respondent's motion to dismiss this special proceeding seeking to vacate an arbitration award ( see, CPLR 7511). Because petitioner sought to vacate the award more than "ninety days after its delivery" (CPLR 7511[a]), the proceeding is time-barred ( see, Matter of State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Elias, 221 A.D.2d 547; Lopez v. Coughlin, 220 A.D.2d 349; Fabiano v. Country-Wide Ins. Co., 150 A.D.2d 337, 338; Matter of Malatestinic v. Board of Educ., 132 A.D.2d 661, 662; see also, Heidelberger v. Cooper, 300 N.Y. 502).
