PRESENT: PESCE, P.J., WESTON PATTERSON and GOLIA, JJ.
In this action seeking the balance due for goods sold and delivered, the court granted defendant's motion to vacate a default judgment on condition that defendant serve and file an answer upon plaintiff and file proof of service of the answer with the court within 20 days of the order. The court further directed that the judgment stand as security pending the litigation and that should defendant fail to comply with the condition of the vacatur, plaintiff shall be entitled to execute on the judgment. Following defendant's failure to comply with the condition of the vacatur, the marshal obtained a partial satisfaction of the judgment. Thereafter, defendant again moved, inter alia, to vacate the default judgment. Upon a review of the record, we find that defendant has failed to establish a reasonable excuse for its default ( see CPLR 5015 [a]). Accordingly, the order denying defendant's motion is affirmed.
Pesce, P.J., Weston Patterson and Golia, JJ., concur.
