OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE

Michael T. Lamberti, P.C., Woodbury, N.Y., for appellant.

Jaspan Schlesinger, LLP, Garden City, N.Y. (Scott B. Fisher and Christopher E. Vatter of counsel), for Greenpoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., as successor in interest to respondent Greenpoint Mortgage Corp.

Lawrence & Walsh, P.C., Hempstead, N.Y. (Eric P. Wainer of counsel), for respondent Plaza Equities, LLC.

In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Mary M. Lamberti appeals, as limited by her brief and as further limited by a stipulation dated February 12, 2013, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Adams, J.), entered March 12, 2012, as denied those branches of her motion which were for leave to renew and reargue those branches of her prior cross motion which were, inter alia, to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(3) insofar as asserted against her for lack of standing, which had been denied in an order of the same court dated August 19, 2010.

ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order entered March 12, 2012, as denied that branch of the motion which was for leave to reargue is dismissed, as no appeal lies from an order denying reargument; and it is further,

Thereafter, the mortgage and the note were assigned several times, and subsequently were assigned to the plaintiff Plaza Equities, LLC (hereinafter Plaza) ( see Greenpoint Mtge. Corp. v. Lamberti, 94 A.D.3d 815, 941 N.Y.S.2d 864). The defendant Mary M. Lamberti cross-moved, among other things, to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against her, contending, inter alia, that Plaza lacked standing to pursue the action. In an order dated October 13, 2010, the Supreme Court denied Lamberti's cross motion, and Lamberti moved for leave to renew and reargue her cross motion. In the order appealed from, the Supreme Court denied Lamberti's motion for leave to renew and reargue.

As the Supreme Court correctly pointed out, Lamberti's papers on her ...
