In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Janet R. DeRham, a/k/a Janet DeRham, appeals, as limited by her brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Peter C. Patsalos, J.), dated August 24, 2001, as denied that branch of her motion which was to vacate a judgment of foreclosure of the same court (Murphy, J.), entered March 8, 1999, on her default.
Anderson Rottenberg, P.C., New York, N.Y. (Mark M. Rottenberg and Thomas E. Chase of counsel), for appellant.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court properly held that the appellant did not establish the existence of a meritorious defense to this foreclosure action, and thus is not entitled to vacatur of the judgment of foreclosure and sale (see Taieb v. Hilton Hotels Corp., 60 N.Y.2d 725; NYCTL 1996-1 Trust v. 251-18 GCP Corp., 293 A.D.2d 456).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
SANTUCCI, J.P., FEUERSTEIN, O'BRIEN and LUCIANO, JJ., concur.
