EMMANUEL OKEKE, Appellant, v. WALDRINE EWOOL et al., Defendants.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs payable by the defendants, and the plaintiffs motion for leave to enter judgment against the defendants on the issue of liability upon their defaults in appearing or answering the complaint and to set the matter down for an inquest on the issue of damages is granted.

In support of his unopposed motion pursuant to CPLR 3215, the plaintiff submitted proof of service of copies of the summons and the complaint upon the defendants, of the facts constituting the claim, and of the defendants' defaults in appearing or answering the complaint ( see CPLR 3215 [f]; Levine v Forgotson's Cent. Auto Elec., Inc., 41 AD3d 552, 553; 599 Ralph Ave. Dev., LLC v 799 Sterling Inc., 34 AD3d 726; Lipp v Port Auth. of N.Y. N.J., 34 AD3d 649). There is no evidence in the record that the defendants made timely appearances or answered the complaint. Accordingly, the plaintiffs unopposed motion for leave to enter judgment against the defendants on the issue of liability upon their defaults in appearing or answering the complaint and to set the matter down for an inquest on the issue of damages should have been granted.
