Defendants failed to offer a plausible excuse as to why they failed to secure a sworn statement from plaintiff’s foreman although 2 years had transpired since plaintiff’s deposition where defendants learned of the foreman’s involvement at the accident site. Accordingly, the court exercised its discretion in a provident manner in denying defendants a further extension of the time in which to file their summary judgment motion so as to permit them to obtain and incorporate such statement in the motion (see Brill v. City of New York, 2 NY3d 648, 651-652 [2004]; see also Gibbs v. St. Barnabas Hosp., 16 NY3d 74, 81 [2010]).
