March 26, 2001.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Garson, J.), dated April 19, 2000, which denied their motion, in effect, to vacate their default in answering and in appearing at the subsequent inquest on damages.
Roger Bennet Adler, New York, N.Y. (Faith A. Friedman of counsel), for appellants.
Before: CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court properly denied the defendants' motion, in effect, to vacate their default, as they failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse therefor (see, Wynne v. Wagner, 262 A.D.2d 556; Roussodimou v. Zafiriadis, 238 A.D.2d 568).
