Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Debra A.

Acosta, J.), entered October 2, 2007, inter alia, dismissing the complaint as against defendant Arthur I. Winard, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

In moving to restore her case to the pre-note of issue calendar, approximately 17 years after it was marked "disposed," plaintiff failed to make either of the requisite showings: a reasonable excuse for her default in appearing at a conference and a meritorious cause of action (22 NYCRR 202.27; Perez v New York City Hous. Auth., 47 AD3d 505 [2008]; Lopez v Imperial Delivery Serv., 282 AD2d 190 [2001], lv dismissed 96 NY2d 937 [2001]). [*2]

We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments, including her contention as to lack of jurisdiction, and find them without merit. Concur—Andrias, J.P., McGuire, Moskowitz and DeGrasse, JJ.
