OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.

Ordered that the order, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed, without costs.

This nonpayment proceeding was commenced by landlord to recover unpaid rent at the rate of $1,272 per month for the subject rent-stabilized apartment. Lucie Delice (tenant) served an answer which included a counterclaim, and, on June 20, 2012, while appearing pro se, entered into a stipulation pursuant to which, among other things, a final judgment was to be entered awarding landlord possession and the sum of $5,759.90, a warrant was to issue, tenant was to make specified payments on specified dates, and landlord could execute the warrant upon tenant’s default. A final judgment was entered as against tenant on that date. On July 26, 2012, the parties entered into a second so-ordered stipulation which amended the payment schedule. In August 2012, tenant moved to vacate the final judgment. The Civil Court denied the motion by order dated August 31, 2012.
