In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendants Webb Garrison and Betty G. Garrison appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Rebolini, J.), dated July 6, 2015, as, upon a decision of the same court, also dated July 6, 2015, granted those branches of the plaintiff's motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against them and for an order of reference.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The plaintiff, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (hereinafter the Bank), commenced this action against the defendants Webb Garrison and Betty G. Garrison (hereinafter together the homeowners), among others, to foreclose a mortgage. Annexed to the complaint was a copy of a note executed by the homeowners in which they promised to repay a loan they received from HSBC Mortgage Corporation (USA), which had been endorsed to the Bank. The Bank moved, inter alia, for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against the homeowners, and for an order of reference. The Supreme Court granted the Bank's motion.

To establish prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law in an action to foreclose a mortgage, a plaintiff
