Opinion
January 23, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Putnam County (Braatz, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Our review of the record reveals that the defendant failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for his default (see, Skidelsky v Merendino, 133 A.D.2d 149). Therefore, it was not an improvident exercise of discretion for the Supreme Court to deny his motion to vacate the default judgment. Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Eiber, Spatt and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
