DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
Contrary to the plaintiff's arguments, res judicata effect is given to default judgments ( see, Silverman v. Leucadia, Inc., 156 A.D.2d 442; Siegel, Practice Commentaries, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 7B, CPLR C3216:26, at 570). Under the circumstances of this case, the Supreme Court properly dismissed the complaint in its entirety.
