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 1 7 of 11 FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 05/24/2023 04:18 PM INDEX NO. 602826/2022 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 133 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/24/2023 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). 2 8 of 11 FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 05/24/2023 04:18 PM INDEX NO. 602826/2022 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 3 9 of 11 FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 05/24/2023 04:18 PM INDEX NO. 602826/2022 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 133 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/24/2023 ORDERED, that the Plaintiff s motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint, is GRANTED, consistent with the terms of this Order. Settle Judgment on Notice. This constitutes the decision and order of this Court. DATED: Mineola, New York April 24, 2023 ____________________________ Hon. Randy Sue Marber, J.S.C.
