DECISION & ORDER
In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Filomeina Carpinelli appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (John H. Rouse, J.), dated August 22, 2017, and (2) an order and judgment of foreclosure and sale (one paper) of the same court dated November 18, 2020. The order granted the plaintiff's unopposed motion to vacate a prior order of the same court dated November 14, 2016, granting the plaintiff's motion, inter alia, to discontinue the action, and to restore the action to the calendar. The order and judgment of foreclosure and sale, inter alia, granted the plaintiff's motion for a judgment of foreclosure and sale, confirmed the referee's report, and directed the sale of the subject premises.
ORDERED that the appeal from the order dated August 22, 2017, is dismissed, as no appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the appealing party (see CPLR 5511; PennyMac Corp. v Weiss, 152 A.D.3d 712, 713; see also U.S. Bank N.A. v Persaud, 175 A.D.3d 1343); and it is further, ORDERED that the order and judgment of foreclosure and sale is affirmed; and it is further, ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the plaintiff.
On July 17, 2006, the defendant Filomeina Carpinelli (hereinafter the defendant) executed a note in favor of Sterling National Mortgage Company, Inc., which was secured by a mortgage encumbering real property located in Greenlawn. In 2010, the plaintiff commenced this action to foreclose the mortgage against the defendant, among others, alleging that she defaulted on her loan payments. The defendant failed to timely answer the complaint. By order dated November 14, 2016, the Supreme Court granted the plaintiff's motion, inter alia, to discontinue the action. The plaintiff subsequently moved to vacate the November 14, 2016 order and to restore the action to the calendar. The defendant did not oppose the plaintiff's motion. In an order dated August 22, 2017, the court granted the plaintiff's motion to vacate the order dated November 14, 2016, and to restore the action to the calendar. On November 18, 2020, an order and judgment of foreclosure and was issued, inter alia, directing the sale of the subject premises. The defendant appeals.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the plaintiff was not required to demonstrate its compliance with RPAPL 1304 in this action (see HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v Thorne, 189 A.D.3d 1193, 1195).
The defendant's remaining contentions are not properly before this Court.
