This ‍​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‍motion was denied, it appearing, among other things, that there was no written stipulation, and no legal service of an answer. The present motion was made to set aside ‍​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‍the judgment, and for leave to-answer, upon substantially the same facts, except that the affidavit, shows that defendant’s counsel “understood” plaintiff’s attorney to-grant such further time to answer. ‍​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‍This motion was also denied.

Order affirmed.
