Opinion
September 29, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Cowhey, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The court properly declined to relieve the appellant from a judgment of default entered against it, where the appellant had engaged in a pattern of inexcusable neglect and chronic law office failure ( see, e.g., General Elec. Capital Auto Lease v Terzi, 232 A.D.2d 449; Fennell v. Mason, 204 A.D.2d 599; Morris v Metropolitan Transp. Auth., 191 A.D.2d 682; Forum Ins. Co. v. Judd, 191 A.D.2d 230; Eveready Ins. Co. v. Devissiere, 134 A.D.2d 323; Frascatore v. Mione, 97 A.D.2d 809, 810).
The appellant's remaining contention is academic in light of this determination.
