Chrysler First Financial Services Corp. of America v. Burse
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided December 23, 1994
210 A.D.2d 947; 621 N.Y.S.2d 977; 1994 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 13419
Chrysler First Financial Services Corp. of America v. Burse

Opinion of the Court

—Order unanimously modified on the law and as modified affirmed without costs in accordance with the following Memorandum: Supreme Court properly vacated the default judgment against defendant James D. Burse. That judgment was a nullity because it was not entered in compliance with CPLR 308 (4) (see, Marazita v Nelbach, 91 AD2d 604).

The court erred, however, in failing to vacate the default judgment against defendant Patricia Burse based on plaintiffs failure to comply with the five-day notice requirement of CPLR 3215 (g) (1) (cf., Q.P.I. Rests. v Slevin, 93 AD2d 767, appeal dismissed 60 NY2d 676). (Appeals from Order of Supreme Court, Steuben County, Scudder, J.—Vacate Default Judgment.) Present—Pine, J. P., Lawton, Fallon, Davis and Boehm, JJ.
