Janie Odom, Respondent, v New York City Transit Authority, Appellant.
    [779 NYS2d 136]
   In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), dated July 10, 2003, which granted the plaintiffs motion for leave to file a late note of issue.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the precalendar order did not contain a 90-day demand pursuant to CPLR 3216. Therefore, the court could not dismiss the action based on neglect to prosecute pursuant to CPLR 3216 (see O’Connell v City Wide Auto Leasing, 6 AD3d 682 [2004]; Akpinar v John Hancock Mut. Life Ins. Co., 302 AD2d 337 [2003]; Murray v Smith Corp., 296 AD2d 445, 447 [2002]). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the plaintiffs motion for leave to file a late note of issue. Florio, J.P., Krausman, Townes, Mastro and Fisher, JJ., concur.
