DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs and disbursements.
"A party seeking to be relieved of a default pursuant to CPLR 5015 must establish both a reasonable excuse for the default and the existence of a meritorious defense" (Matter of Julie T., 248 A.D.2d 477, 478). "It is well settled that whether to relieve a party of an order entered on default is a matter left to the sound discretion of the court" (Matter of Sean Courtney G. v. Vernon J., 213 A.D.2d 548, 549). The appellant failed to sustain her burden, and the Family Court providently exercised its discretion in denying her motion (see, Matter of Geraldine Rose W., 196 A.D.2d 313).
