Opinion

5 N.Y.S.3d 106
125 A.D.3d 757

In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendants Miguel Madero and Martha Madero appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Maltese, J.), dated January 28, 2013, as, upon a decision of the same court dated November 15, 2012, granted those branches of the plaintiff's motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint, to strike their answer, and for an order of reference, and denied those branches of their cross motion which were pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) to dismiss the complaint, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, or for an immediate trial.

ORDERED that the order is modified, on the law, by deleting the provisions thereof granting those branches of the plaintiff's motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint, to strike the answer of the defendants Miguel Madero and Martha Madero, and for an order of reference, and substituting therefor a provision denying those branches of the motion; as so modified, the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
