John K. Renke II, respondent, v. Joyce A. Kwiecinski, appellant.

2010–04689 (Index No. 12997 /04)

Decided: April 19, 2011

WILLIAM F. MASTRO, J.P. REINALDO E. RIVERA LEONARD B. AUSTIN SHERI S. ROMAN, JJ.

Joyce A. Kwiecinski, Long Beach, N.Y., appellant pro se. DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr, LLP, White Plains, N.Y. (Frank J. Haupel of counsel), for respondent.

Argued—April 1, 2011

DECISION & ORDER

In an action to enforce a foreign judgment, the defendant appeals, as limited by her brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Marber, J.), entered April 5, 2010, as denied her motion to stay enforcement of the judgment.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

It is undisputed that the State of Florida had jurisdiction over the defendant when the judgment at issue was rendered against her. Therefore, the judgment was entitled to full faith and credit from New York State (see Fiore v Oakwood Plaza Shopping Ctr., 78 N.Y.2d 572, 577, cert denied 506 U.S. 823). Since the defendant did not set forth any basis for staying enforcement of the judgment, her motion was properly denied.

MASTRO, J.P., RIVERA, AUSTIN and ROMAN, JJ., concur.

Matthew G. Kiernan

Clerk of the Court
