156 A.D.2d 330 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1989
an action to recover a sum of money allegedly owing under a lease, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Held, J.), dated March 23, 1988, which denied its motion to vacate a judgment of the same court, dated November 5, 1987, entered upon its default in failing to oppose the respondent’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
The plaintiff, in moving to have its default vacated, failed to show that it had a meritorious cause of action, as well as an acceptable excuse for its default (Monroe v Crabtree Ford, 137 AD2d 747). Accordingly, the court properly denied the plaintiffs motion to vacate the judgment entered upon its default. Lawrence, J. P., Kunzeman, Eiber and Harwood, JJ., concur.
