PENISTON v. EPSTEIN

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

In support of their motion for leave to enter a default judgment against the defendant upon his failure to appear and answer, the plaintiffs failed to proffer either an affidavit of the facts or a complaint verified by a party with personal knowledge of the facts as required by CPLR 3215 (f) ( see DeVivo v. Sparago, 287 AD2d 535, 536; Fiorino v. Yung Poon Yung, 281 AD2d 513; Grainger v. Wright, 274 AD2d 549, 550). Thus, the Supreme Court properly denied the motion and compelled the plaintiff to accept service of the defendant's answer.
