Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
We find that the Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in denying the husband's motion. The husband's delay of almost a year in bringing the matter to the court's attention supports a finding that the motion, which was made on the eve of trial, was made in bad faith, in order to delay the proceedings, or to secure a tactical advantage (see, Lucci v. Lucci, 150 A.D.2d 650, 652; Severino v. DiIorio, 186 A.D.2d 178, 180). Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Altman, Hart and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
