In this note we consider graphs of maximum degree $\Delta$, diameter
$D$ and order ${\rm M}(\Delta,D) - 2$, where ${\rm M}(\Delta,D)$ is
the {\it Moore bound}, that is, graphs of {\it defect} 2. 
Delorme and Pineda-Villavicencio conjectured that such
graphs do not exist for $D\geq 3$ if they have the so called `cyclic
defect'. Here we prove that this conjecture holds.
