Head Matter:
Kenneth J. Brown, Respondent, v Nachman Rosenfeld, Appellant.
[643 NYS2d 1023]

Opinion:
The plaintiff neither demonstrated a reasonable excuse for his delay in serving the complaint nor submitted a proper affidavit of merits. Therefore, the defendant's motion to dismiss the action should have been granted (see, Redding v Saunders, 213 AD2d 1015; see also, Scott v George, 222 AD2d 1049; Rosano v County of Nassau, 208 AD2d 704). Mangano, P. J., Thompson, Plorio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
