Decided February 17, 2005.

Order unanimously affirmed without costs.

PRESENT: McCABE, P.J., COVELLO and TANENBAUM, JJ.


In this small claims action to recover commissions, the court below did not improvidently exercise its discretion by denying defendant's motion to vacate the default judgment ( see CPLR 5015 [a] [1]; Alliance Prop. Mgt. Dev. v. Andrews Ave. Equities, 70 NY2d 831; Barasch v. Micucci, 49 NY2d 594; Martinez v. Otis El. Co., 213 AD2d 523; Tandy Computer Leasing v. Video X Home Lib., 124 AD2d 530). Accordingly, the trial court provided the parties with substantial justice according to the rules and principles of substantive law (UDCA 1804, 1807; see Ross v. Friedman, 269 AD2d 584; Williams v. Roper, 269 AD2d 125, 126).
