In the Matter of the Claim of Mary Karras, Appellant, v State of New York, Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Court of Claims, entered April 18, 1974, which denied claimant’s motion for permission to file a late claim without the period of 90 days following the occurrence giving rise to the claim pursuant to subdivision 5 of section 10 of the Court of Claims Act. We choose to affirm on the ground that the claimant has failed to allege a cause of action (see Chergotis v State of New York, 259 App Div 369 ). The acts which are alleged as being negligent clearly involved the exercise of governmental discretion which cannot give rise to liability (Weiss v Fote, 7 NY2d 579 ; Burgundy Basin Inn v State of New York, 47 AD2d 692 ). Order affirmed, without costs. Herlihy, P.J., Greenblott, Sweeney, Main and Reynolds, JJ., concur.
