Sweetbaum & Sweetbaum, Lake Success (Marshall D. Sweetbaum of counsel), for appellant. Randall B. Smith, P.C., Melville (Joshua D. Smith of counsel), for respondent.
Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alison Y. Tuitt, J.), entered on or about April 17, 2013, which denied defendant's motion, inter alia, to vacate a default judgment and dismiss the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Defendant did not proffer a reasonable excuse for his default. The record supports plaintiff's claim that defendant engaged in a pattern of default that warranted the denial of his motion to vacate the default.
In light of the above, we need not reach the merits of defendant's defense. FRIEDMAN, J.P., SWEENY, ANDRIAS, GISCHE, CLARK, JJ., concur.
