DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The record establishes that the plaintiff's repeated failure to comply with the respondent's demand for a verified bill of particulars was willful. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in granting the respondent's motion to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against it (see CPLR 3042[d]).
FLORIO, J.P., S. MILLER, FRIEDMANN, ADAMS and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
