Article 15 - (Civil Practice Law & Rules) ACTIONS AGAINST PERSONS JOINTLY LIABLE
1502 - Provisional remedies and defenses in subsequent action against co-obligor.

 1502. Provisional remedies and defenses in subsequent action against
  co-obligor.  A  subsequent  action  against  a  co-obligor  who  was not
  summoned in the original action must be maintained in order to procure a
  judgment enforceable against his individually held property for the  sum
  remaining  unpaid  upon  the original judgment, and such action shall be
  regarded as based upon the same obligation, contract or liability as the
  original judgment for the purpose of obtaining any  provisional  remedy.
  The  complaint in the subsequent action shall be verified. The defendant
  in the subsequent action may raise any defenses or counterclaims that he
  might have raised in the original action if the summons had been  served
  on  him  when  it  was  first  served  on  a  co-obligor,  and may raise
  objections to the original judgment, and defenses or counterclaims  that
  have arisen since it was entered.
