Decision Date09 June 2009
Docket Number2008-05426.
PartiesWASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, F.A., Appellant, v. TERRENCE C. O'CONNOR et al., Respondents, et al., Defendants.
CourtNew York Supreme Court Appellate Division

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs payable by the respondents, and the plaintiff's motion is granted.

The plaintiff established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by presenting the mortgage and unpaid note, along with evidence of the default (see U.S. Bank Natl. Assn. TR U/S 6/01/98 [Home Equity Loan Trust 1998-2] v Alvarez, 49 AD3d 711 [2008]; Daniel Perla Assoc., LP v 101 Kent Assoc., Inc., 40 AD3d 677 [2007]; US Bank Trust N.A. Trustee v Butti, 16 AD3d 408 [2005]; Republic Natl. Bank of N.Y. v O'Kane, 308 AD2d 482 [2003]). In opposition, it was incumbent upon the defendants Terrence C. O'Connor and Sheila K. O'Connor "to produce evidentiary proof in admissible form sufficient to require a trial of [their] defenses" (US Bank Trust N.A. Trustee v Butti, 16 AD3d at 408). These defendants failed to do so. Accordingly, the Supreme Court should have granted the plaintiff's motion, inter alia, for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against those two defendants.

RIVERA, J.P., DILLON, BELEN and HALL, JJ., concur.
