The only issue that need be considered on this appeal by defendants from Supreme Court's order vacating the default judgment entered against plaintiff is whether plaintiff supported her motion with an adequate showing of a meritorious cause of action. In our view, Supreme Court correctly determined that the conclusory allegations of the complaint could not competently support a finding of merit (see, Peterson v. Scandurra Trucking Co., 226 A.D.2d 691, 692) but erred in its reliance upon plaintiffs bill of particulars, which was verified by plaintiffs attorney who had no personal knowledge of the facts (see, id.; Stokes v. McKeithan, 172 A.D.2d 1077; cf., Pastore v. Golub Corp., 184 A.D.2d 827, 828). Plaintiff having proffered no competent evidence to support a finding of merit, we conclude that Supreme Court abused its discretion in granting the motion.
Peters, Spain, Carpinello and Graffeo, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and motion denied.
