APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, FIRST DEPARTMENT

PRESENT: McKeon, P.J., McCooe, Davis, JJ
570280/06.

Fordham Hill Owners Corp. Petitioner-Respondent,

against

Shirley Price, Respondent-Appellant.


Tenant appeals from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Brenda S. Spears, J.), dated April 26, 2006, which denied her motion to vacate a stipulation settling a holdover summary proceeding.


PER CURIAM:

Order (Brenda S. Spears, J.), dated April 26, 2006, affirmed, without costs.

"Stipulations in settlement of disputes are judicially favored and not lightly cast aside" (Board of Managers of the Atrium Condominium v West 79th St. Corp., 19 AD3d 241 [2005]), and tenant herein failed to proffer any basis for voiding the so-ordered stipulation settling the underlying chronic rent delinquency holdover proceeding. "The record shows that, on the motion to vacate, Civil Court adequately considered the fairness of the stipulation and properly found no reason to relieve the tenant of its effects." (Henry Hudson Gardens, L.L.C. v Bareda, 25 AD3d 466, 467 [2006].)

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
