AULISI, J.
Appeal from an order denying the motion of the defendants Stackel to open their default. To open a default defendants must show not only that they failed to answer because of excusable mistake but also that they have a meritorious defense (CPLR 5015; Investment Corp. of Philadelphia v. Spector, 12 A.D.2d 911). Order affirmed, with $20 costs. Herlihy, J.P., Reynolds, Taylor and Hamm, JJ., concur.
