Matter of State-Wide Insurance Co. v. Rowe

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 17, 1996
228 A.D.2d 606 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

June 17, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (O'Connell, J.).


Ordered that the orders are affirmed, with one bill of costs.

The Supreme Court properly dismissed this proceeding because the petitioner's application for a stay was made more than 20 days after the notice of intention to arbitrate was served (see, CPLR 7503 [c]). The petitioner's contention that the statutory time period does not apply under the circumstances of this case is without merit (see, Matter of Steck [State Farm Ins. Co.], 88 N.Y.2d 827).

The court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the petitioner's motion for renewal which was based on new arguments and additional facts that were known to the petitioner at the time its original application was considered (see, Marino v. Brown, 225 A.D.2d 529). In any event, those additional facts demonstrated that the untimeliness of the petitioner's application was the result of its own employee's neglect, not any deception on the part of the respondent (see, Matter of Allstate Ins. Co. v. Barbera, 117 A.D.2d 801). Balletta, J.P., Sullivan, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
