663 N.Y.S.2d 995

Opinion

July 28, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Barasch, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

To establish entitlement to vacatur of a judgment entered upon the movant's default, the movant must demonstrate a reasonable excuse for the default and a meritorious defense (see, Betancourth v. Pacheco, 232 A.D.2d 442; Fennell v. Mason, 204 A.D.2d 599; Putney v. Pearlman, 203 A.D.2d 333). The appellant has failed to satisfy the standard in this case.

The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
