Williams v. Pratt Institute

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 21, 1995
212 A.D.2d 692 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

February 21, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hurowitz, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in declining to vacate its prior order granting the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint where the plaintiff waited more than a year in moving for this relief and failed to proffer any excuse for his dilatory conduct or to establish that his claims had any merit (see, CPLR 5015 [a] [1]; see also, Long Is. Trust Co. v. PTI Intl. Corp., 166 A.D.2d 504). Ritter, J.P., Pizzuto, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
