JOSE THATTIL, Appellant, v. PIERRE Y. MONDESIR et al., Defendants, and FRANC BELIZAIRE, Respondent.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the plaintiff's motion for leave to enter a judgment on the issue of liability against the defendant Franc Belizaire is granted.

In support of his motion for leave to enter a judgment on the issue of liability against the defendant Franc Belizaire upon his failure to appear and answer the complaint, the plaintiff submitted the complaint which was verified by the plaintiff's counsel, proof of service, and his affidavit ( see, CPLR 3215 [f]; cf., Henriquez v. Purins, 245 A.D.2d 337). The plaintiff's affidavit specifically adopted the complaint under penalties of perjury, and incorporated the allegations of the complaint by reference into the affidavit. Furthermore, the plaintiff in his affidavit stated that the contents of the complaint were true. Since the complaint set; forth facts sufficient to establish a cause of action against the defendant Belizaire ( cf., Feffer v. Malpeso, 210 A.D.2d 60), we find that the Supreme Court erred in denying the plaintiffs motion for leave to enter a judgment on the issue of liability against the defendant Belizaire.

O'Brien, J. P., Ritter, Thompson and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
