    Catherine La Rosa, Appellant, v. Thereasa Antonacchio, Respondent.
   Appeal by plaintiff from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated September 23, 1971, which granted defendant’s motion pursuant to CPLR 3012 (subd. [b]) to dismiss the action for failure to serve a complaint. Order affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements. In our opinion, plaintiff failed to offer an adequate excuse for failure to serve a complaint for nearly 13 months after a demand therefor (Galanos v. City of New York, 35 A D 2d 829; Klein v. Pompa, 26 A D 2d 815, app. dsmd. 19 N Y 2d 701). Rabin, P. J., Munder, Martuscello, Latham and Benjamin, JJ., concur.
