Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Contrary to the petitioner's contentions, the Supreme Court correctly confirmed the Referee's report finding that service of process was not made upon the respondent in accordance with the order to show cause ( see CPLR 2214 [d.]). Since personal jurisdiction was never acquired over the respondent, the order entered against her upon default was properly vacated, and the petition was properly dismissed ( see Alden Personnel, Inc. v David, 38 AD3d 697; Matter of Kapsis v Kelleher, 37 AD3d 381; European Am. Bank v Legum, 248 AD2d 206; Goldmark v Keystone Grading Corp., 226 AD2d 143). There is no evidentiary support in the record for the petitioner's conclusory assertion that the deadline for service specified in the order to show cause was extended by the court.
The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.
