| Citation | 283 A.D.2d 478,724 N.Y.S.2d 647 |
| Parties | SHELDON SILVERMAN, Respondent,<BR>v.<BR>DENNIS DEUTSCH et al., Defendants, and LIBBY DEUTSCH, Appellant. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ritter, J. P., Altman, McGinity, Smith and Cozier, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
To vacate a default judgment pursuant to CPLR 5015 (a), a defendant must demonstrate a reasonable excuse for the default and a meritorious defense (see, Alliance Prop. Mgt. & Dev. v Andrews Ave. Equities, 70 NY2d 831; Barasch v Micucci, 49 NY2d 594; Wynne v Wagner, 262 AD2d 556). The appellant claimed that she did not receive actual notice of the action until after the entry of judgment. However, the appellant was properly served pursuant to CPLR 308 (2) (see, Wieck v Halpern, 255 AD2d 438; Simmons First Natl. Bank v Mandracchia, 248 AD2d 375), and she failed to allege specific facts to rebut the statements in the process server's affidavit (cf., European Am. Bank v Abramoff, 201 AD2d 611). Thus, the Supreme Court properly denied the appellant's motion to vacate the default.
