ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the cause of action sounding in intentional infliction of emotional distress on the ground that it is time-barred (see, CPLR 215; Langford v. Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, 271 A.D.2d 494; Weisman v. Weisman, 108 A.D.2d 853).
