The Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in declining to vacate its prior order granting the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint where the plaintiff waited more than a year in moving for this relief and failed to proffer any excuse for his dilatory conduct or to establish that his claims had any merit (see, CPLR 5015 [a] [1]; see also, Long Is. Trust Co. v. PTI Intl. Corp., 166 A.D.2d 504). Ritter, J.P., Pizzuto, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
