    (June 24, 1983)
    In the Matter of Laura Craven, Respondent, v Robert F. Flacke, as Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, et al., Respondents, and Edward V. Regan, as Comptroller of the State of New York, Appellant.
   — Motion, pursuant to 22 NYCRR 800.12 of the Rules of Practice, for extension of time to perfect appeal deemed abandoned, denied, without costs, and appeal dismissed. Appellant’s excuse that perfection of the appeal has been delayed because a similar appeal is pending in this court is not reasonable since a motion for an extension of time to perfect the appeal, premised upon these circumstances, could have been made prior to the expiratian of the nine-month period. Mahoney, P. J., Sweeney, Yesawich, Jr., Weiss and Levine, JJ., concur.
