Mugglin, J.
Following Supreme Court's dismissal of this proceeding for lack of jurisdiction due to petitioner's failure to comply with CPLR 304, petitioner moved pursuant to CPLR 2221 (a) to "modify" the order, requesting reinstatement of the proceeding nunc pro tunc principally on grounds of law office failure. Supreme Court denied the motion, characterizing it as one for reargument.
Petitioner appeals from this order.
The motion to "modify" the prior order clearly sought to convince Supreme Court that its original determination was incorrect, and was properly considered one to reargue (see Carota v. Wu, 284 A.D.2d 614, 617). It is well settled that an order denying a motion to reargue is not appealable (see Davis v. Evan, 304 A.D.2d 1023, 1026 n 1 [2003]; Ault v. Richman, 299 A.D.2d 613, 615; Patterson v. Palmieri, 284 A.D.2d 852, 852; Flax v. Standard Sec. Life Ins. Co. of N.Y., 150 A.D.2d 894, 895).
Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Peters and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs.
