Is there any case law where a delay in making a motion for show cause is a reasonable excuse for delay?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from Lynch v. N. Shore Long Island Jewish Health Sys., Inc., 13 N.Y.S.3d 850 (Table) (N.Y. Dist. Ct. 2015):

In the case at bar, an affidavit of merit has been presented, but no reasonable excuse for the delay has been presented. Thus, the relief sought in plaintiff's order to show cause must be denied. See also Pipinias v. J. Sackaris & Sons, Inc., 116 AD3d 749, 983 N.Y.S.2d 587, (2nd Dept 2014) ; and Mattera v. Capric, 54 AD3d 827, 864 N.Y.S.2d 98 (2nd Dept 2008).
