Opinion

April 13, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kohn, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

A defendant seeking to have his default vacated must show an acceptable reason for the default and a meritorious defense to the action (Black v Black, 141 A.D.2d 689; Kraus Bros. v Hoffman Co., 99 A.D.2d 401; Lins v Lins, 98 A.D.2d 608). The defendant at bar failed to demonstrate either. Thompson, J.P., Harwood, Balletta and Copertino, JJ., concur.
