Opinion

December 1, 2003.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), dated May 3, 2002, which granted the plaintiff's motion to "restore" the action to active status.
Harris Beach, LLP, Pittsford, N.Y. (Christopher A. DiPasquale and Frederick H. Fern of counsel), for appellant.
Rovegno Taylor, P.C., Forest Hills, N.Y. (Robert B. Taylor of counsel), for respondent.
Before: SANDRA L. TOWNES, WILLIAM F. MASTRO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the defendants' contention, CPLR 3404 does not apply to this pre-note of issue case ( see Lopez v. Imperial Delivery Serv., 282 A.D.2d 190). Furthermore, there was no 90-day notice pursuant to CPLR 3216, nor was there an order dismissing the complaint pursuant to 22 NYCRR 202.27. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the plaintiff's motion to "restore" the action to active status ( see Torres v. Nu-Way Mach. Corp. Co., 296 A.D.2d 545; Johnson v. Brooklyn Hosp. Ctr., 295 A.D.2d 567; Farley v. Danaher Corp., 295 A.D.2d 559).
FLORIO, J.P., S. MILLER, TOWNES and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
