GARY GRUBER, ET AL., appellants, v. CENTRAL TRUCK EQUIPMENT, INC., ET AL., respondents.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

It is well established that the striking of a pleading pursuant to CPLR 3126 for failure to comply with court-ordered disclosure should be granted only where the conduct of the resisting party is shown to be willful, contumacious, or in bad faith. The plaintiffs' repeated failure to comply with orders of the Supreme Court directing disclosure, and failure to appear at multiple court conferences, support an inference of willful and contumacious conduct. Thus, the Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in dismissing the complaint (see Brandes v. Pirnie-Baker, 288 A.D.2d 413; Ranfort v. Peak Tours, 250 A.D.2d 747; Frias v. Fortini, 240 A.D.2d 467; Yin Kuen Chan Tang v. Hong Kong Chinese Herbal Co., 235 A.D.2d 282).

ALTMAN, J.P., S. MILLER, McGINITY, SCHMIDT and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
