Emigrant Bank vs. Luigi Rosabianca and Carmelo Rosabianca

December 14, 2017

Petroff Amshen LLP, Brooklyn (James Tierney of counsel), for appellants. Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C., New York (Jeffrey R. Metz of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Gerald Lebovits, J.), entered June 17, 2016, which denied the motion of defendants Carmelo and Vivian Rosabianca (the Rosabiancas), inter alia, to file a late answer pursuant to CPLR 3012(d), affirmed, without costs.

Notwithstanding the Rosabiancas’ sympathetic position, we conclude that the denial of their motion for relief under CPLR 3012(d) was warranted for the reasons that follow.
