PRESENT: McCABE, P.J., LIFSON and SKELOS, JJ.
In these small claims actions, we find defendant's contentions of lack of consideration for the promissory note he executed to purchase Javier Mazariegos' share of a business and for a loan in the amount of $2,000 made by Sara Mazariegos to the defendant, to be without merit. The judgments should not be disturbed since it cannot be said that the court's determinations were so shocking and failed to produce substantial justice between the parties (UDCA 1807; Scaringe v. Holstein, 103 AD2d 880).
