San Clemente v. Hercules NY Advertising, Inc., 290 A.D.2d 263, 735 N.Y.S.2d 767, 2002 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 127 (N.Y. Ct. App. 2002).

Opinion

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Milton Tingling, J.), entered May 10, 2001, which denied plaintiff’s motion for a default judgment, unanimously reversed, on the law and the facts, without costs, unless defendants pay plaintiff $100 within 30 days of service of a copy of this order with notice of entry, in which event the order is affirmed, without costs.

A default judgment is unwarranted in view of the lack of prejudice to plaintiff, defendants’ showing of a meritorious defense and the short delay in serving an answer. However, we impose a penalty of $100 in view of defendants’ weak showing with respect to the cause of delay. Concur — Nardelli, J.P., Andidas, Saxe, Sullivan and Rubin, JJ.
