June 24, 2003.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward Lehner, J.), entered May 31, 2002, which denied plaintiffs' motion to vacate an order dismissing the action, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Martin A. Lerner, for plaintiffs-appellants.
Eric L. Cooper David L. Kremen, for defendants-respondents.
Before: Nardelli, J.P., Andrias, Saxe, Williams, Friedman, JJ.
The action was properly dismissed upon plaintiffs' failure to attend a pre-note of issue conference ( 22 NYCRR 202.27), and plaintiffs' motion to vacate the dismissal was properly denied for failure to show a meritorious cause of action (see Lopez v. Imperial Delivery Serv., 282 A.D.2d 190, 197, lv dismissed 96 N.Y.2d 937; Polir Constr. v. Etingin, 297 A.D.2d 509, 511-512).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
