In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by its brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schack, J.), dated April 8, 2013, as denied those branches of its motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint, to strike the answer of the defendant Norris Islar, for an order of reference, and to amend the caption to substitute Lisa Mathis and Mrs. Johnson as party defendants instead of the defendants sued as “John Doe # 1” and “John Doe # 2” and delete the defendants sued as “John Doe # 3” through “John Doe # 10.”
