MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendants Vincent and Roseanne Parisi and Richard and Patricia Verdi appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Amann, J.), entered June 29, 1995, which confirmed the referee's report of sale except to the extent that the value of the property at the time of the sale was determined to be $185,000 instead of $170,000 and awarded a deficiency judgment in favor of the plaintiff-respondent in the principal sum of $214,430.88.
