MANDELL v. STEIN

To vacate a default a party must demonstrate a justifiable excuse for the default and a meritorious defense. There must be a sufficient factual showing to support such claims (Investment Corp. v. Spector, 12 A.D.2d 911). Defendants have not sustained their burden.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Ross, Smith and Rubin, JJ.
