Opinion

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


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

A plaintiff attempting to vacate a default must establish both a reasonable excuse for the default and a meritorious claim ( see, Roussodimou v. Zafiriadis, 238 A.D.2d 568). The plaintiff has failed to meet this standard.

Bracken, J. P., Thompson, Goldstein and McGinity, JJ., concur.
