MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendants Hamptons Mist Management Corp. and Leonard Rosen appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an (1) order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Cohalan, J.), dated June 28, 1994, as granted the branches of the plaintiff's motion which were for summary judgment and to strike their answer and counterclaim, and (2) a resettled order of the same court, dated July 21, 1994, as granted the branches of the plaintiff's motion which were for summary judgment and to strike their answer and counterclaims.
ORDERED that the plaintiff is awarded one bill of costs.
In its motion, inter alia, for summary judgment, the plaintiff established its case as a matter of law through the production of the mortgage and the unpaid note. The appellants were then required to assert any defenses which would raise a question of fact about their default on the mortgage (see, LBV Props. v. Greenport Dev. Co., 188 A.D.2d 588, 591 N.Y.S.2d 70; Metropolitan Distrib. Servs. v. DiLascio, 176 A.D.2d 312, 574 N.Y.S.2d 755), such as "waiver by the mortgagee, or estoppel, or bad faith, fraud, oppressive or unconscionable conduct on the latter's part" (Nassau Trust Co. v. Montrose Concrete Prods. Corp., 56 N.Y.2d 175, 183, 451 N.Y.S.2d 663, 436 N.E.2d 1265, quoting Ferlazzo v. Riley, 278 N.Y. 289, 292, 16 N.E.2d 286). In the present case, the appellants' conclusory and unsubstantiated assertions are not supported by competent evidence and are insufficient to defeat the plaintiff's motion (see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, 427 N.Y.S.2d 595, 404 N.E.2d 718; LBV Props. v. Greenport Dev. Co., supra; see also, North Fork Bank v.
