Opinion
In an action to recover damages for medical malpractice, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Coppola, J.), entered April 3, 1995, which denied her motion to vacate an order dated January 31, 1994, dismissing the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3126 (3).
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion to vacate the order dated January 31, 1994, is granted, that order is vacated, and the complaint is reinstated.
The order dismissing the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3126 (3) was improperly based on an ex parte oral motion made by the defendant without giving notice to the plaintiff. We note, however, that this determination is made without prejudice to the defendant’s renewal of the motion in accordance herewith. Miller, J. P., Joy, Hart and Krausman, JJ., concur.
