Henry v. Gutenplan
| Decision Date | 18 October 1993 |
| Citation | 197 A.D.2d 608,604 N.Y.S.2d 757 |
| Parties | Joseph P. HENRY, Appellant, v. Lori GUTENPLAN, Respondent. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Kenneth J. Molloy, East Islip, for appellant.
Berwin Leighton, New York City (Jeffrey E. Glen, of counsel), for respondent.
In an action to recover damages, inter alia, for defamation, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Brucia, J.), dated May 30, 1991, which granted the defendant's motion to vacate a prior order entered upon her default and to dismiss the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
We find that the plaintiff waived any objection to the alleged lack of proper notice of the defendant's pro se application to vacate an order entered upon her default, by failing to raise the issue before the Supreme Court and by defending such application on the merits (see, Glanzman v. Fischman, 183 A.D.2d 748, 586 N.Y.S.2d 519; Todd v. Gull Contr. Co., 22 A.D.2d 904, 255 N.Y.S.2d 452; Miot v. JoCarl Realty, Cor., 20 A.D.2d 664, 246 N.Y.S.2d 542). Further, we find no reason to disturb the court's implicit finding that the plaintiff's attorney had the authority to bind his client to the stipulation discontinuing the present action (see, Hallock v. State of New York, 64 N.Y.2d 224, 230, 485 N.Y.S.2d 510, 474 N.E.2d 1178; cf., Rivera v. Triple M. Roofing Corp., 116 A.D.2d 561, 497 N.Y.S.2d 416).
We have examined the plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit (see, 22 NYCRR 202.3[c][5].
