Ordered that the appeal from the order entered October 5, 1990, is dismissed, as no appeal lies from an order denying reargument; and it is further,
Ordered that the order entered July 12, 1990, is affirmed; and it is further,
Ordered that the respondents are awarded one bill of costs.
The Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the appellant's motion to withdraw as counsel for the defendants. Although the appellant law firm had not been paid by its clients for approximately one year as of the time of the motion to withdraw, this case had been pending since 1983 and a substitution of counsel at this late date would have only further delayed the resolution of the matter (see, Torres v. Torres, 169 A.D.2d 829; Isser v. Berg, 38 Misc.2d 957).
We have reviewed the appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, O'Brien and Ritter, JJ., concur.
