Head Matter:
Edwin R. La Vin, Appellant, v. Russell C. La Vin et al., Defendants, and Sanford Hotel Corp., Respondent.

Opinion:
Since respondent's default was deliberate and intentional, and there was no adequate showing of a meritorious defense, it was an improvident exercise of discretion to grant the motion.

J., Carswell, Wenzel, MacCrate and Schmidt, JJ., concur. [See post, p. 1088; 280 App. Div. 895.]
