Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, HOWARD MILLER, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in granting that branch of the defendant's motion which was for an extension of time to answer the complaint where the delay was only four days (see, Kaiser v. Delaney, 255 A.D.2d 362; Bungay v. Joy Power Prods., 243 A.D.2d 527; Junior v. City of New York, 85 A.D.2d 683).
