Head Matter:
Annabelle Whitney, Respondent, v. Bohack Food Stores, Appellant.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department,
May 24, 1967.
Marvin, Montfort, Healy, McGuire & Salley {E. Richard Rimmels, Jr., of counsel), for appellant. Shepps, Saltsman & Haber {William B. Saltsman of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
In view of plaintiff's failure to present any excuse for the lack of prosecution and an affidavit of merits, her motion should have been denied (CPLR, 5015, subd. [a], par. 1; Keating v. Smith, 20 A D 2d 141). Rule 14 of the Nassau County District Court Rules, authorizing the dismissal of an action which remains on the general calendar for more than a year without a notice of trial being filed, has its counterpart in CPLR 3404 and is not inconsistent with the provisions of CPLR 3216.
The order should be unanimously reversed, with $10 costs to defendant, and motion to vacate order dismissing action denied, with leave to plaintiff to renew upon proper papers within 30 days after service of a copy of the order hereon.
Concur — Martuscello, Groat and Coyle, JJ.
Order reversed, etc.
