Opinion
June 18, 1963
Order, entered on March 7, 1963, so far as appealed from, unanimously reversed, on the law and on the facts, with $20 costs and disbursements to the appellant, and the motion granted. No excuse for the delay of 18 months after the last pretrial proceedings was offered. Plaintiff's offer to consent to a transfer of the case to the Civil Court constitutes no excuse for a failure to proceed.
Concur — Botein, P.J., McNally, Stevens, Eager and Steuer, JJ.
