HSBC BANK USA, N.A., res, v. MILDRED J. MICHALCZYK, def-app, ET AL., def; PETER CZECH, nonparty-app — (Index No. 600223/15) Mildred J. Michalczyk, E. Farmingdale, NY, defendant-appellant pro se, and Peter Czech, E. Farmingdale, NY, nonparty-appellant pro se (one brief filed). Fein, Such & Crane, LLP, Westbury, NY (Michael S. Hanusek of counsel), for respondent. In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Mildred J. Michalczyk and nonparty Peter Czech appeal from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (John J. Toomey, J.), dated December 20, 2017, (2) an order of the same court, also dated December 20, 2017, and (3) an order of the same court (Howard H. Heckman, Jr., J.) dated April 30, 2018.

Michalczyk, and referred the matter to a referee to ascertain and compute the amount due on the mortgage loan. The order dated April 30, 2018, denied the motion of the defendant Mildred J. Michalczyk and Peter Czech, denominated as one for leave to renew and reargue, but which was, in actuality, one for leave to reargue the opposition of the defendant Mildred J. Michalczyk to those branches of the plaintiff’s prior motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against her, to strike her answer, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims, and for an order of reference, and the prior cross motion of the defendant Mildred J. Michalczyk for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against her.
