Fulmer v. Buxenbaum

90 A.D.3d 755, 936 N.Y.2d 550

Opinion

An order of filiation may be vacated on the grounds of “fraud, misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party” (CPLR 5015 [a] [3]; see Matter of Jose F.R. v Reina C.A., 46 AD3d 564 [2007]). The Family Court properly denied the mother’s application to vacate the order of filiation entered in the instant proceeding because she failed to make a prima facie showing of fraud, misrepresentation, or other misconduct (see CPLR 5015 [a] [3]; Matter of Vernon J. v Sandra M., 36 AD3d 912 [2007]).

The mother’s remaining contentions are without merit. Rivera, J.P, Leventhal, Belen and Roman, JJ., concur.
