3593. CASH AND CARRY FILING SERVICE, LLC,INDEX 154341/15 plf-res, v. REHAN PERVEEZ def-ap — Lawrence G. Nusbaum, Jr., New Rochelle, for ap — Newman Law, P.C., Cedarhurst (Evan M. Newman of counsel), for res — Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Manuel J. Mendez, J.), entered on or about November 6, 2015, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied defendants’ motion to vacate a judgment by confession entered May 1, 2015, or to schedule a plenary hearing to determine whether the underlying agreement leading to the judgment by confession is enforceable, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Defendants may challenge the judgment by confession only by trial in a plenary action, and not by motion (see Scheckter v. Ryan, 161 AD2d 344, 345 [1st Dept 1990]). Moreover, defendants lack standing to challenge the affidavit of confession of judgment. An affidavit of confession of judgment pursuant to CPLR 3218 “is intended to protect creditors of a defendant,” not the defendant itself (Giryluk v. Giryluk, 30 AD2d 22, 25 [1st Dept 1968], affd 23 NY2d 894 [1969]; County Natl. Bank v. Vogt, 28 AD2d 793, 794 [3d Dept 1967], affd 21 NY2d 800 [1968]; Regency Club at Wallkill, LLC v. Bienish, 95 AD3d 879, 879 [2d Dept 2012]). In any event, the affidavit in this case is sufficient (Giryluk, 30 AD2d at 25).
