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

Decided February 6, 1990Published

1Opinion of the Court

In this medical malpractice action there were long periods of inactivity. The plaintiff failed to satisfy the conditions of a prior order vacating her default. Therefore, the IAS court acted within its discretion. Contrary to plaintiffs position, this *291action was not stayed because of proceedings brought in Federal court. The filing of a notice of appeal does not result in a stay. (Catalane v Plaza 400 Owners Corp., 124 AD2d 478, 480.) Concur—Murphy, P. J., Carro, Kassal and Rosenberger, JJ.
