Ordered that; the order is affirmed, with costs.
This case was marked off the trial calendar for almost three years before he plaintiffs moved to restore the action to the trial calendar. The plaintiffs' only excuse for the delay was that their counsel did not know that the matter had been placed on the trial calendar and then marked off the calendar. That excuse is not acceptable ( see, Diamond v. J.B.J. Mgt. Co., 220 A.D.2d 378; Kopilas v. Peterson, 206 A.D.2d 460; Robinson v. New York City Tr. Auth., 203 A.D.2d 351). Accordingly, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the plaintiffs' motion to restore the action to the trial calendar ( see, Diamond v. J.B.J. Mgt. Co., supra; Kopilas v. Peterson, supra; Iazzetta u Vicenzi, 243 A.D.2d 540).
