SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT

PRESENT: Shulman, J.P., Schoenfeld, Hunter, Jr., JJ
570650/13.

Frankie Ruiz, Plaintiff-Appellant,

against

Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center, Defendant-Respondent.


Plaintiff appeals from an order of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Eddie J. McShan, J.), entered April 25, 2013, which denied plaintiff's motion to vacate a default judgment dismissing the action.


Per Curiam.

Order (Eddie J. McShan, J.), entered April 25, 2013, affirmed, without costs.

Plaintiff's motion to vacate his default in appearing for trial was properly denied, in view of his failure to strictly comply with the time requirements set forth in the order to show cause or present proof of service on the return date of the vacatur motion (see U.S. Bank Natl. Assn. v Feliciano, 103 AD3d 791 [2013]; Lenders Capital LLC v Ranu Realty Corp., 99 AD3d 566 [2012]). Our disposition is without prejudice to plaintiff's right, if so advised, to renew his application for vacatur relief in the Small Claims Part of Civil Court.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
