Opinion:
—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Murphy, J.), entered September 21, 2001, which granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the action as time barred.
Ordered that the order is affirmed with costs.
The Supreme Court properly dismissed the action commenced May 8, 2001, as time barred.
