Opinion
April 26, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Burke, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The parties in this action to recover damages for breach of contract entered into a stipulation of settlement which reduced the sum owed by the defendant to the plaintiff but also provided that if the defendant failed to make payment pursuant to its terms, the plaintiff "shall have the right to enter judgment forthwith" in the full amount of the debt plus interest and costs. The defendant failed to make full and timely payment even after the plaintiff afforded him additional time beyond that provided in the settlement agreement. Since the defendant's failure to comply with the terms of the agreement entitled the plaintiff to enter the judgment against him (compare, Furgang v Epstein, 106 A.D.2d 609), the defendant's motion to set the judgment aside was properly denied. Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
