Order affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
A court is authorized to vacate a default judgment pursuant to the provisions of CPLR 5015 upon a showing of an excusable default and a meritorious defense. In the case at bar, the defendant attributed his default to his good-faith belief that he was improperly served and that his attorney was handling the matter. Furthermore, he offered some evidence in support of his claim that he had a meritorious defense.
