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.
