Opinion
November 30, 1998
Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Salinitro, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the appellant's contention, the Family Court was correct in utilizing CPLR 5015 (a) (1) to determine her motion to vacate the order of disposition terminating her parental rights ( see, Matter of Latisha I., 238 A.D.2d 340; Matter of Geraldine Rose W., 196 A.D.2d 313). Thus, the Family Court properly denied the motion to vacate the order of disposition upon finding that she failed to establish a reasonable excuse for her default and a meritorious defense ( see, Matter of Ann D., 239 A.D.2d 575; Matter of Latisha I., supra).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
