Pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(1), a court may relieve a party from a judgment on the ground of excusable default, if a motion for that relief is made within one year after service of a copy of the judgment with written notice of entry. Even after expiration of the one-year limitations period set forth in CPLR 5015, a court may vacate its own judgment for sufficient reason and in the interest of substantial justice.
