Opinion
April 12, 2001.
Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Howard Silver, J.), entered July 17, 2000, which, upon denying defendant's motion to vacate the note of issue, insofar as appealed from, directed plaintiff to submit to a physical examination, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Suzanne B. Holzberg, for Plaintiif-Appellant.
Michael H. Zhu, for Defendant-Respondent.
Williams, J.P., Ellerin, Wallach, Lerner, Rubin, JJ.
Although defendant waived its right to physically examine plaintiff by failing to comply with the deadlines set in three prior orders, we decline to disturb the motion court's exercise of discretion where the action will remain on the calendar and it does not otherwise appear that the requested physical examination will prejudice plaintiff (see, Urena v. Bruprat Realty Corp., 179 A.D.2d 505; Dominguez v. Manhattan Bronx Surface Tr. Operating Auth., 168 A.D.2d 376).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
