DECISION & ORDER In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the defendants City of New York, New York City Police Department, and Yusef Sezen appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ash, J.) dated February 8, 2013, as granted that branch of the plaintiffs' motion which was, in effect, for leave to serve and file a late notice of claim against the defendants City of New York and New York City Police Department. ORDERED that the appeal by the defendant Yusef Sezen is dismissed, as he is not aggrieved by the portion of the order appealed from (see CPLR 5511); and it is further, ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from by the defendants City of New York and New York City Police Department; and it is further, ORDERED that the plaintiffs are awarded one bill of costs, payable by the defendants City of New York and New York City Police Department. On November 25, 2011, the plaintiff Metin Bakioglu (hereinafter the plaintiff), while employed by the New York City Police Department (hereinafter the NYPD) and riding in an NYPD vehicle, allegedly was injured when that vehicle was involved in a motor vehicle accident. On August 20, 2012, the plaintiff, and his wife suing derivatively, moved by order to show cause, inter alia, in effect, for leave to serve and file a late notice of claim against the City of New York and the NYPD (hereinafter together the City defendants). The Supreme Court granted that branch of the motion.

The determination of an application for leave to serve and file a late notice of claim is left to the sound discretion of the court (see Matter of Vasquez v City of Newburgh, 35 AD3d 621, 623).
