240 A.D.2d 719 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

660 N.Y.S.2d 1008

Opinion

June 30, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Lama, J.).

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

The judgment debtor failed to establish that the foreign judgment by a sister State was procured by fraud or by default in appearance or that the foreign court lacked jurisdiction. Therefore, the Supreme Court properly determined that the foreign judgment was entitled to full faith and credit ( see, CPLR 5401) and properly denied the judgment debtor's motion to vacate it.

Thompson, J.P., Joy, Altman and Florio, JJ., concur.
