MARGIE CASCIO, et al., respondents, v. MICHAEL E. SCIGIANO, appellant, et al., defendant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion to vacate is denied, the order dated February 27, 1998, is reinstated, and the action against the remaining defendant is severed.

Regardless of the plaintiffs' reasons for failing to oppose the appellant's summary judgment motion, they have not provided evidence of a meritorious claim so as to require vacatur of the order dated February 27, 1998, pursuant to CPLR 5015 ( see, Jackson v. Newburgh Enlarged City School Dist., 259 A.D.2d 521 [2d Dept., Mar. 8, 1999]). The evidence showed that the injured plaintiff, after having stopped at a stop sign, proceeded into the intersection without yielding the right of way to the appellant in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1142 Veh. Traf. (a) ( see, Rumanov v. Greenblatt, 251 A.D.2d 566; Singh v. Shafi, 252 A.D.2d 494). The evidence also showed that the injured plaintiff failed to see what, by the proper use of her senses, she should have seen ( see, Nunziata v. Birchell, 238 A.D.2d 555). The plaintiffs' papers were insufficient to raise any triable issues of fact.
