Leonard S. Fiore, Sr., Respondents v. Oakwood Plaza Shopping Center, Inc., Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Pennsylvania cognovit judgment is entitled to full faith and credit because the defendants voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently waived due‑process rights. The court also affirmed that Pennsylvania had personal jurisdiction, limited its review to jurisdictional issues, and denied the defendants' cross‑motion to dismiss, thereby upholding summary judgment.
