DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
A defendant seeking to vacate a judgment entered upon its failure to appear or answer a complaint must demonstrate both a reasonable excuse for the default and the existence of a meritorious defense ( see Manigat v. Louis, 262 A.D.2d 289). Generally, the determination whether to set aside a default is left to the sound discretion of the Supreme Court, the exercise of which will not be disturbed if there is support in the record ( see Gurreri v. Village of Briarcliff Manor, 249 A.D.2d 508; MacMarty, Inc. v. Scheller, 201 A.D.2d 706). In the instant case, the defendants failed to present a reasonable excuse for their default and failed to establish a meritorious defense. Thus, their motion to vacate the judgment entered upon their failure to appear or answer the complaint was properly denied.
