Legal Opinion

Harris v. Morrison

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided March 4, 2008Published

1Opinion of the Court

Plaintiff showed “sufficient cause . . . why the complaint should not be dismissed” (CPLR 3215 [c]). Acceptance of the excuse offered for the relatively short delay was, under the circumstances, a proper exercise of judicial discretion (see Pappoe v Custodio, 156 AD2d 211 [1989]). Concur-Nardelli, J.P., Williams, Sweeny and Catterson, JJ.
