Vacated Judgement and Statute of Limitations

[wacgar88]

My question involves court procedures for the state of: New York

If someone files a motion for an order to show cause to vacate a judgement, does this reopen or dismiss a case? Basically, upon not being aware of a summons, a default judgement was issued because of no show. It was found out once account was frozen. A motion was filed for an order to show cause to vacate judgement, intially not realizing why I was not notified. After filing and reviewing the affidavit from plantiff I realized it was because the name summons was given and the zip code mailed was wrong. Should I file something in addition to have this in my defense?

Also, does motion require plainteff to re-file, in-turn changing the file date of action. I am trying to see if this then qualifies denial for plaintiff because of Statue of Limitations. Original file date was May and roughly September was statute of limitations.

If a judgment is set aside, all that normally does is place the case back on the contested docket. It doesn't result in dismissal.

So what should be filed to have judgement dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction (improper service) related to be served on initial summons. Would I file an addendum to request a motion to dismiss judgement due to improper service.
