In the Matter of Doria v. Doria
| Decision Date | 27 December 2005 |
| Docket Number | 2005-01195. |
| Citation | 24 A.D.3d 760,807 N.Y.S.2d 129,2005 NY Slip Op 10121 |
| Parties | In the Matter of LISA DORIA, Respondent, v. JOSEPH DORIA, Appellant. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that on the Court's own motion, the notice of appeal is deemed to be an application for leave to appeal, and leave to appeal is granted (see Family Ct Act § 1112 [a]); and it is further,
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the facts and as an exercise of discretion, without costs or disbursements, the motion is granted, the permanent order of protection dated December 13, 2004, is vacated, and the temporary order of protection dated November 3, 2004, is reinstated, to continue in effect until January 30, 2006.
The father established a reasonable excuse for his default in appearing at a hearing on the mother's petition for an order of protection against him, as well as a meritorious defense to the petition. Accordingly, the Family Court's denial of the father's motion to vacate the permanent order of protection entered upon his default was an improvident exercise of its discretion (see Matter of Butterworth v. Sperber, 6 AD3d 530 [2004]; Matter of Martin v. Martin, 239 AD2d 698 [1997]; Louis v. Louis, 231 AD2d 612 [1996]; cf. Mastro v. Mastro, 114 AD2d 1014 [1985]).
