PartiesU.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, etc., respondent, v. Shelley R. EADDY, appellant, et al., defendants.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Thomas J. Minotti, P.C., Highland, N.Y., for appellant.

Hogan Lovells US, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Allison J. Schoenthal, Victoria McKenney, and Jessica L. Ellsworth of counsel), for respondent.

In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Shelley R. Eaddy appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Berliner, J.), dated September 9, 2009, which granted the plaintiff's motion, in effect, for summary judgment on the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff met its initial burden of establishing its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by producing the mortgage, the unpaid note, and documentation evidencing the appellant's default in her payment obligations ( see Ferri v. Ferri, 71 A.D.3d 949, 896 N.Y.S.2d 890; Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. v. Delphonse, 64 A.D.3d 624, 625, 883 N.Y.S.2d 135; Wells Fargo Bank Minn., N.A. v. Mastropaolo, 42 A.D.3d 239, 241-242, 837 N.Y.S.2d 247). In opposition, the appellant failed to raise a triable issue of fact. The appellant waived any defense based on the plaintiff's alleged lack of standing because she failed to interpose an answer asserting the defense or file a timely pre-answer motion raising that defense ( see Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v. Jackson, 68 A.D.3d 805, 889 N.Y.S.2d 477; Wells Fargo Bank Minn., N.A. v. Mastropaolo, 42 A.D.3d at 244, 837 N.Y.S.2d 247).

The appellant's remaining contentions either are improperly raised for the first time on appeal, are without merit, or have been rendered academic by our determination.

RIVERA, J.P., DILLON, ANGIOLILLO and AUSTIN, JJ., concur.
