Upon the foregoing papers, the motion by the Plaintiff, BEN ZION-
ALCALAY, seeking an Order, pursuant to CPLR §3213, for summary judgment in lieu of
a complaint, is determined as set forth hereinafter.
By Summons with Notice of Motion dated March 4, 2022, the Plaintiff
commenced this action to domesticate and enforce a final judgment ( Judgment ) entered
by the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and Palm Beach County, Florida (the
, plus statutory interest accruing from
November 23, 2020 (See

A ). This Judgment, rendered on December 7,
2021, followed proceedings in the Florida Court based on a complaint filed by the Plaintiff
in that jurisdiction.
That complaint, styled as Ben-Zion Alcalay v Atlas CyberSecurity LLC and
Barry Dynkin (Case No. 502020CA12935)
Defendants alleged breach of (1) a lease agreement; (2) a guaranty agreement; and (3) a
business agreement, all of which involved the Plaintiff and the Defendant herein (See,
The Defendants defaulted in the Florida Action, and on June 23,
2021, the Florida Court granted a default judgment in Plaintiff s favor.
On August 23, 2021, the Defendants filed a motion to vacate their default in
the Florida Action. In seeking to vacate the default, the Defendants alleged, inter alia, that
the Plaintiff failed to properly serve the Defendants with the complaint and amended
complaint in that matter, and that the
the result of excusable neglect; that Defendants had a meritorious defense; and that
Defendants acted with diligence in seeking to vacate their default.
Motion to Vacate the Default (Plain M ) finding that (1) Defendants
had been properly served and that therefore the Florida Court had proper jurisdiction over
Defendants, and that (2) Defendants had failed to show a reasonable excuse for the default.
In so doing, it is wo
contention concerning the alleged lack of proper service in the Florida Action lacked merit
and that the testimony proffered in support thereof was not credible (Ex. M , ¶57, p. 15).

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 133 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/24/2023
Following the entry of the final Judgment noted above, the Plaintiff
commenced the instant action to enforce the Judgment in the State of New York,
specifically, Nassau County, where Defendants reside, to enforce the Florida Judgment.
The Court notes that both parties the Plaintiff anticipatorily and the Defendant in
opposition attempt to raise again the issue of whether personal jurisdiction was properly
obtained in the Florida Action. That issue is, at best, a red herring.
The Defendants cannot now be heard to collaterally attack the Florida
Judgment in this action on the basis of whether the default judgment in the Florida Court
was proper and/or whether the Florida Court had jurisdiction over them in the first instance
(See, e.g., Westland Garden State Plaza, L.P. v Ezat, Inc., 25 AD3d 516 [1st Dept 2006]);
see also, CIBC Mellon Tr. Co. v Mora Hotel Corp., 261 AD2d 81, 91 [1st Dept 2002]
[where defendant makes special appearance to challenge jurisdiction of the sister S
court and whose arguments were duly considered and rejected by the court, defendant may
not be heard to raise the jurisdictional challenge anew when plaintiff seeks to enforce the
judgment in a sister State).
In consideration of the parties respective submissions, the Court finds that
the Florida Judgment was properly entered, and such Judgment is entitled to full faith and
credit in the State of New York (See, e.g., Balboa Capital Corp. v Plaza Auto Care, Inc.,
178 AD3d 646, 647-648 [2d Dept 2019]). Due to the continually accruing interest,
however, the Plaintiff is directed to settle the Judgment on notice to Defendants.
Accordingly, it is hereby
