Opinion
December 22, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Elliott Wilk, J.).
The motion court's vacatur of the judgment entered upon defendant's default did not constitute an improvident exercise of discretion since the record supports the court's findings that defendant had a reasonable excuse for its default, which involved only a minimal delay, and had made the requisite showing of a meritorious defense ( see, Provident Life Cas. Ins. Co. v. Hersko, 246 A.D.2d 365). We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
Concur — Tom, J. P., Mazzarelli, Andrias and Saxe, JJ.
