Opinion
2003-1434 QC.
Decided July 7, 2004.
Appeal by plaintiff, as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Civil Court, Queens County (C. Markey, J.), entered July 21, 2003, as denied his motion to vacate a stipulation of settlement.
Order insofar as appealed from unanimously affirmed without costs.
PRESENT: PESCE, P.J., GOLIA and RIOS, JJ.
Upon a review of the record we find that the court below acted well within its discretion in denying plaintiff's motion to vacate the stipulation of settlement inasmuch as plaintiff failed to show good cause therefor. Moreover, plaintiff's contentions regarding his civil rights and the bias and prejudice of the court below are improperly raised for the first time on appeal and, in any event, are not supported by the record ( see Goldblatt v. LaShellda Maintenance Co., 278 AD2d 451).
