BLF REALTY HOLDING CORP. v. CANO

We agree with the IAS Court that defendant, in opposing plaintiff's motion for entry of the default judgments appealed from, failed to establish either a reasonable excuse for not answering the complaint or a meritorious defense. We note in addition that the court properly exercised its discretion when it required defendant to file an undertaking as a condition of vacatur (CPLR 5015 [a]; see, Rubin v. Payne, 103 A.D.2d 946, appeal dismissed 64 N.Y.2d 754). We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them unpersuasive.
