15-490. STANLEY SKEETE, pet-res v. RAFAEL BAH, res-app — Order (Phyllis K. Saxe, J.), dated September 9, 2015, affirmed, without costs, for the reasons stated by Phyllis K. Saxe, J. at Civil Court.

Civil Court properly denied respondent Bah’s motion to vacate the so ordered stipulation settling the underlying holdover proceeding, since he failed to demonstrate legal cause for such relief, i.e., fraud, collusion, mistake or accident (see Hallock v. State of New York, 64 NY2d 224, 230 [1984]); see also Hotel Cameron, Inc. v. Purcell, 35 AD3d 153, 156 [2006]). The record demonstrates that while respondent appeared pro se, he understood the terms of the stipulation and received ample consideration for his agreement to vacate the premises that he briefly occupied as the roommate of petitioner, the tenant of record. Respondent’s generalized and unsubstantiated contentions of, inter alia, intimidation and discrimination are insufficient to invalidate the agreement.
