April 11, 2002.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Louis York, J.), entered August 1, 2001, which denied plaintiff's motion to vacate his default, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Boris Lyakhovsky, for plaintiff-appellant.
William T. Collins, III, for defendant-respondent.
Before: Williams, P.J., Saxe, Lerner, Rubin, Marlow, JJ.
The motion court properly denied plaintiff's motion to vacate the default order given plaintiff's failure to demonstrate a meritorious claim (see, Adefioye v. Volunteers of Am., 222 A.D.2d 246). Plaintiff's counsel's arguments as to his motion to withdraw are not properly before this Court.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
