16-072. 1234 BROADWAY LLC, pet-land-app, v. HSIEN HUA YING, res-tent -and- “JOHN DOE,” res-und-res, -and- “JANE DOE,” res-und — Order (Anne Katz, J.), dated March 9, 2015, insofar appealed from, reversed, with $10 costs, the cross motion denied and the petition reinstated as against tenant Hsien Hua Ying, and landlord’s motion for a default judgment against said tenant granted.

This illegal sublet holdover proceeding was dismissed on the ground that the alleged subtenant, whose name and identity were known to landlord, was improperly designated as “John Doe” (see CPLR 1024). However, while dismissal is warranted as against the subtenant, the petition should not have been dismissed against the named tenant, Hsien Hua Ying, who has defaulted in the proceeding (see Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Auth. v. Wimpfheimer, 165 Misc 2d 584 [App Term, 1st Dept 1995]). The subtenant, while a “proper” party to the instant holdover proceeding, is not a “necessary” party whose presence is indispensable to the according of complete relief as between landlord and tenant (see Wimpfheimer, 165 Misc 2d at 586).
