DECISION & ORDER
In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Nicole Broderick appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Howard H. Heckman, Jr., J.), dated July 30, 2019, and (2) an order of the same court, also dated July 30, 2019. The first order dated July 30, 2019, insofar as appealed from, granted those branches of the plaintiff's motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant Nicole Broderick, to strike her answer, and for an order of reference. The second order dated July 30, 2019, insofar as appealed from, granted the same relief to the plaintiff and appointed a referee to compute the amount due to the plaintiff.
ORDERED that the appeals are dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The appeals from the two orders dated July 30, 2019, must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of an order and judgment of foreclosure and sale in the action (see Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248, 383 N.Y.S.2d 285, 347 N.E.2d 647 ). The issues raised on the appeals from the orders are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the order and judgment of foreclosure and sale ( 21st Mortgage Corp. v. Broderick, 191 A.D.3d 744, ––– N.Y.S.3d –––– [Appellate Division Docket No. 2020–03385 ; decided herewith]; see CPLR 5501[a][1] ; Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d at 248, 383 N.Y.S.2d 285, 347 N.E.2d 647 ; Sparta GP Holding Reo Corp. v. Lynch, 186 A.D.3d 893, 894, 127 N.Y.S.3d 769 ).
