DECISION AND ORDER
The following e-filed documents, listed by NYSCEF document number 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
were read on this application to/for Judgment - Default.
In this action to renew certain judgments pursuant to CPLR 5014 (1), plaintiffs now move, by order to show cause, for leave to enter a default judgment. Plaintiffs' papers have successfully established "proof of service of the summons and complaint, proof of the facts constituting the claim, and proof of the defaulting party's default in answering or appearing." Atlantic Cas. Ins. Co. v RJNJ Servs. Inc., 89 AD3d 649, 651 (2d Dept 2011); see CPLR 3215 (a). They are thus entitled to a default judgment and renewal of their judgments against defendants.
Accordingly, it is hereby:
