[83 A.D.3d 788] In an action to recover on a promissory note, brought by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to CPLR 3213, the defendant appeals from an order and judgment (one paper) of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schack, J.), dated March 5, 2010, which granted the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint, denied the defendant's cross motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(4) or to consolidate this action with an action pending in the Supreme Court, Queens County, entitled Sing Huei Chang, also known as Daven Chang v. Wide, Inc., under Index No. 12793/09, and is in favor of the plaintiff and against him in the principal sum of $50,000, plus interest at the rate of 9% per annum from December 20, 2006, in the sum of $14,662.50.

ORDERED that the order and judgment is modified, on the law, by deleting the provision thereof awarding the plaintiff interest at the rate of 9% per annum from December 20, 2006, in the sum of $14,662.50, and substituting therefor a provision awarding the plaintiff interest at the rate of 9% per annum from June 10, 2009; as so modified, the order and judgment is affirmed, without costs and disbursements, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for the entry of an amended judgment in accordance herewith.

In a letter dated February 25, 2009, the plaintiff gave notice to the defendant that he had defaulted on paying the monthly installments due pursuant to the note and, thereafter, the plaintiff accelerated the payment of the note by a letter dated June 10, 2009.

[83 A.D.3d 789] The plaintiff commenced this action by moving pursuant to CPLR 3213 for summary judgment in lieu of complaint. The defendant cross-moved to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(4) or to consolidate this action with an action pending in the Supreme Court, Queens County, entitled Sing Huei Chang, also known as Daven Chang v. Wide, Inc., under Index No. 12793/09 (hereinafter the pending action). The Supreme Court granted...
