115 A.D.3d 910

Eilenberg v. Ezagui

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 2014-03-26

Decided 2014-03-26

¶1Appeal by the defendants from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kramer, J.), dated October 3, 2011, which denied their motion pursuant to CPLR 5015 (a) (5) to vacate, inter alia, a prior order of the same court dated July 18, 2007, and an amended judgment of the same court dated November 15, 2007, entered thereon in favor of the plaintiff and against them in the principal sum of $580,041.98.

¶2Ordered that the order dated October 3, 2011, is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

¶3Contrary to the appellants’ contention, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying their motion pursuant to CPLR 5015 (a) (5). The appellants failed to demonstrate that the underlying order and amended judgment should be vacated on the ground of a subsequent modification to an underlying arbitration award, since there was an insufficient showing of a subsequent valid modification to the arbitration award (see CPLR 5015 [a] [5]; cf. Matter of Grossman v Ilowitz, 72 AD3d 821, 822 [2010]; Dupkanicova v James, 17 AD3d 627 [2005]).

Austin, J.P, Sgroi, Cohen and Hinds-Radix, JJ., concur.
