In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dye, J.), dated August 24, 2000, which denied her motion to vacate an order of the same court, dated February 4, 2000, granting the defendants' separate motions pursuant to CPLR 3126 to dismiss the complaint upon her default in opposing those motions.
Charles Berkman (Ephrem Wertenteil, New York, N.Y., of counsel), for appellant.
Brea Yankowitz Sosin, P.C., Floral Park, N.Y. (Patrick J. Brea and Glenn E. Westrick of counsel), for respondent Bon Realty Corp.
Kral Clerkin Redmond Ryan Perry Girvan, Smithtown, N Y (James V. Derenze of counsel), for respondent Genovese Drug Stores, Inc.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, THOMAS A. ADAMS, JJ.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The defendants separately moved pursuant to CPLR 3126 to dismiss the complaint based on the plaintiff's failure to comply with court-ordered discovery. The Supreme Court granted those motions upon the plaintiff's default in opposing them. The plaintiff failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for her default. Therefore, her motion was properly denied (see, Wynne v. Wagner, 262 A.D.2d 556; Roussodimou v. Zafiriadis, 238 A.D.2d 568).
