DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is denied, the cross motion is granted, the complaint is dismissed insofar as asserted against the appellant, and the action against the remaining defendants is severed.
The plaintiff allegedly was injured in an accident which occurred on April 23, 1997, when she was a passenger on a bus owned by the defendant New York City Transit Authority (hereinafter Transit Authority), which collided with another vehicle. She did not move for leave to serve a late notice of claim upon the Transit Authority until on or about August 21, 1998, more than one year and 90 days after the accident. Accordingly, the Supreme Court lacked the authority to permit the service of a late notice of claim or to deem the late notice of claim timely nunc pro tunc (see, Pierson v. City of New York, 56 N.Y.2d 950, 954; Hey v. Town of Napoli, 265 A.D.2d 803; Perry v. City of New York, 238 A.D.2d 326, 327).
