FERRANTELLO v. ST. CHARLES HOSPITAL AND RC

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly concluded that the defendants failed to comply with the stipulation dated September 27, 1996, thereby warranting the agreed-upon sanction of striking their answer (see, CPLR 3126; Smith v. City of New York, 239 A.D.2d 337; Pan World Constr. Corp. v. 791 Park Ave. Corp., 185 A.D.2d 105, 107; Will v. County of Nassau, 90 A.D.2d 795).
