CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division
PartiesNEEKSON KHANNA, Appellant,<BR>v.<BR>PREMIUM FOOD AND SPORTS ENTERPRISE, INC., Respondent, et al., Defendants.

S. Miller, J.P., McGinity, Luciano and Smith, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying that branch of the plaintiff's motion which was for leave to enter judgment against the defendant Premium Food and Sports Enterprise, Inc. (hereinafter Premium), upon its default, and in extending that defendant's time to serve an answer (see, Roche Mgt. v Burns, 275 AD2d 404; Bungay v Joy Power Prods., 243 AD2d 527). The appellant was not prejudiced by Premium's unintentional and short delay (see, Trent v Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Ctr., 277 AD2d 444; Stone v County of Nassau, 272 AD2d 392; Chetrick v Cohen, 266 AD2d 254).
