Head Matter:
Anthony J. Harris, Respondent, v Fenton Morrison et al., Appellants, et al., Defendants.
[851 NYS2d 871]

Opinion:
Plaintiff showed "sufficient cause . . . why the complaint should not be dismissed" (CPLR 3215 [c]). Acceptance of the excuse offered for the relatively short delay was, under the circumstances, a proper exercise of judicial discretion (see Pappoe v Custodio, 156 AD2d 211 [1989]).
