STELLA TORRES, respondent, v. WESTCHESTER DENTAL SERVICES, P.C., ET AL., appellants.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

A motion for summary judgment must be made within 120 days of the filing of a note of issue "except with leave of court on good cause shown" (CPLR 3212[a]; see, Gonzalez v. 98 Mag Leasing Corp., 95 N.Y.2d 124, 128; Olzaski v. Locust Valley Cent. School Dist., 256 A.D.2d 320, 321). The defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, filed more than eight months after the filing of the note of issue, was untimely. Moreover, it was made without leave of the court and without good cause shown for the delay (see, Clifford v. Harrow Stores, 274 A.D.2d 370; Olzaski v. Locust Valley Cent. School Dist., supra). Accordingly, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the motion.

The defendants' remaining contention is without merit.

SANTUCCI, J.P., FLORIO, H. MILLER and COZIER, JJ., concur.
