John M. Stravato, Bethpage, N.Y., for appellant.Fidelity National Law Group, New York, N.Y. (Danielle Simone of counsel), for respondent.WILLIAM F. MASTRO, J.P., JOHN M. LEVENTHAL, LEONARD B. AUSTIN, and JEFFREY A. COHEN, JJ.

[84 A.D.3d 1166] In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the plaintiff appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Whelan, J.), dated December 18, 2009, which granted the motion of the defendant Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it, and (2) a judgment of the same court entered August 25, 2010, which, upon the order dated December 18,

[924 N.Y.S.2d 448]

2009, and upon an order dated May 19, 2010, inter alia, granting the cross motion of the defendant Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, to modify the order dated December 18, 2009, to include a declaration regarding the discharge of the plaintiff's mortgage, is in favor of the defendant Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, and against the plaintiff, in effect, dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, and declaring that the plaintiff's mortgage was discharged and that the mortgage held by the defendant Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, is superior to it.

The issues raised on the appeal from the order dated December 18, 2009, are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment ( see CPLR 5501[a][1] ).
