Confessions of judgment.

Pursuant to CPLR 3218[a][1], an affidavit of a confession of judgment must state the sum for which judgment may be entered.  If the judgment is for money due or to become due, 3218[a][2] requires that the affidavit state the facts out of which the debt arose and that the sum confessed is justly due or to become due.
