Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Julia I. Rodriguez, J.), entered April 6, 2016, which denied second third-party defendant Knockdown Contracting Inc.'s motion for summary judgment dismissing second third-party plaintiff Columbia Hicks Associates LLC's third-party claims against it, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court properly denied Knockdown's motion as untimely, because Knockdown failed to show "good cause" for moving for summary judgment more than 120 days after the filing of the note of issue (CPLR 3212[a] ; see e.g. Miceli v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 3 N.Y.3d 725, 786 N.Y.S.2d 379, 819 N.E.2d 995 [2004] ).
