DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
A party moving pursuant to CPLR 3404 to restore a case to the trial calendar must demonstrate that the case has merit, there is a reasonable excuse for the delay, there was no intent to abandon the matter, and there is no prejudice to the nonmoving party (see, Moses v. Wilmaud Realty Corp., 262 A.D.2d 538 [2d Dept., June 21, 1999]; Yacono v. Waterman S.S. Co., 216 A.D.2d 556 ). As the plaintiff failed to satisfy these requirements, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying his motion to restore the case to the trial calendar.
RITTER, J.P., FRIEDMANN, FEUERSTEIN, and SCHMIDT, JJ., concur.
