4854. EYAL ZABARI, plf-res, v. DORON ZABARI, def-ap — Warshaw Burstein, LLP, New York (Bruce H. Wiener of counsel), for ap — Callagy Law, PC, New York (Michael J. Smikun of counsel), for res — Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen A. Rakower, J.), entered on or about July 22, 2016, which granted plaintiff’s motion to confirm the report of a special referee, made after a traverse hearing, concluding that service was properly made, and denied defendant’s cross motion to reject the report and dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

The special referee’s conclusion that plaintiff met his burden of proving proper service pursuant to CPLR 308(2) (see Persaud v. Teaneck Nursing Ctr., 290 AD2d 350, 351 [1st Dept 2002]) was “substantially supported by the record” (Poster v. Poster, 4 AD3d 145, 145 [1st Dept 2004], lv denied 3 NY3d 605 [2004]). Plaintiff’s proof consisted of the process server’s affidavit and testimony, as well as videos of him making service and testimony of the videographer. The referee found the witnesses’ testimony to be credible, and defendant, who offered no evidence in opposition, shows no basis for rejecting the credibility determinations, made after the referee had “an opportunity to see and hear the witnesses and to observe their demeanor” (id.).
