Lumbermans Mut. Cas. v. Ultracashmere House

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 8, 1991
169 A.D.2d 419 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

January 8, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Elliott Wilk, J.).


Movant's reliance upon the provisions of CPLR 3215 is misplaced. The stipulation of settlement at issue did not, by its terms, provide for the entry of a default judgment in the event of a party's failure to comply. Accordingly, movant's attempt to hold its former attorneys in default for their purported failure to return discovery documents and to execute a satisfaction of judgment must fail.

With respect to that portion of the motion seeking the recusal of Justice Wilk, movant's affidavit is devoid of any information which would indicate the necessity of such action on any ground pursuant to section 14 Jud. of the Judiciary Law.

We find the movant's remaining arguments to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Ellerin, Wallach and Rubin, JJ.
