276 A.D.2d 738 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

Submitted September 27, 2000.

October 30, 2000.

In an action to recover damages pursuant to an agreement to indemnify, Chestnut Hill Real Estate Corp., Ted Doukas, and Mary Hauptman appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Alpert, J.), dated September 27, 1999, as denied their motion pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(2) to vacate a judgment of the same court, dated July 21, 1999, which was in favor of the plaintiff and against them in the principal sum of $51,570.

John M. Stravato, Melville, N.Y., for appellants.

Darrin H. Berger, Huntington, N.Y., for respondent.

Before: CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., THOMAS R. SULLIVAN, GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the appellants' motion to vacate the judgment pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(2), as the appellants failed to show that the alleged newly-discovered evidence could not have been discovered with due diligence before entry of the judgment (see, Orix Credit Alliance v. Grace Indus., 274 A.D.2d 424 [2d Dept., July 10, 2000]; Dan's Supreme Supermarkets v. Redmont Realty Co., 261 A.D.2d 353; Corpuel v. Galasso, 240 A.D.2d 531).

We decline to consider the plaintiff's request for an award of an attorney's fee in connection with this appeal.
