ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiff's motion to restore the action to the trial calendar, since he failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for his delay (see, CPLR 3404; Furniture Village v. Schoenberger, A.D.2d [2d Dept., May 29, 2001]; Lopez v. Imperial Delivery Serv., A.D.2d [2d Dept., May 14, 2001]).
SANTUCCI, J.P., ALTMAN, LUCIANO and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
