Persaud v. Metro North Ambulance Corp.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 13, 1996
224 A.D.2d 505 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

February 13, 1996

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


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar appealed from, with costs; and it is further,

Ordered that the respondent's time to serve an answer is extended until 30 days after service upon him of a copy of this decision and order, with notice of entry.

Since the movant demonstrated a meritorious defense and a reasonable excuse for the default of the defendant Dino Klamson, who was represented by the Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, the Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in granting the motion to vacate the default (see, CPLR 5015 [a] [1]; 2005; Di Lorenzo, Inc. v. Dutton Lbr. Co., 67 N.Y.2d 138). Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Altman, JJ., concur.
