v
Jilani Warsi, appellant, et al., defendants.
Fadullon Dizon Krul, LLP, Jericho, NY (Juan Paolo F. Dizon and Alexander Krul of counsel), for appellant.
LOGS Legal Group LLP, Rochester, NY (Ellis M. Oster of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Jilani Warsi appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Leonard Livote, J.), dated January 15, 2020. The order, upon the failure of the defendant Jilani Warsi to appear at a hearing to determine the validity of service of process, in effect, denied those branches of that defendant's motion which were pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(4) to vacate (1) an order of reference of the same court (James G. Golia, J.) entered December 7, 2009, (2) an order of the same court (Leonard Livote, J.) entered July 6, 2015, granting the plaintiff's unopposed motion, inter alia, for a judgment of foreclosure and sale, and (3) an order and judgment of foreclosure and sale (one paper) of the same court entered December 20, 2016, and thereupon, pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(8) to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against him for lack of personal jurisdiction.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, with costs, as no appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the appealing party (see CPLR 5511).
No appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of the appealing party (see CPLR 5511). Here, contrary to the appellant's contention, his failure to appear at the hearing to determine the validity of service of process constituted a default. As such, the appeal must be dismissed (see generally Matter of Rigali v Kogan, 204 AD3d 919, 920; Matter of Jones v Spain, 188 AD3d 1209, 1209).
BRATHWAITE NELSON, J.P., WOOTEN, GENOVESI and WARHIT, JJ., concur.
