Gibran Tasleem, Little Neck, N.Y., appellant pro se. Davidson Fink, LLP, Rochester, N.Y. (Larry T. Powell of counsel), for respondent.
In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Gibran Tasleem appeals from a judgment of foreclosure and sale of the Supreme Court, Queen County (Hart, J.), entered July 23, 2010, upon his default in appearing and answering the complaint.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, with costs.
The appeal from the judgment of foreclosure and sale must be dismissed because no appeal lies from a judgment entered upon the default of the appealing party ( seeCPLR 5511; Development Strategies Co., LLC, Profit Sharing Plan v. Astoria Equities, Inc., 71 A.D.3d 628, 896 N.Y.S.2d 396;Murphy v. Shaw, 34 A.D.3d 657, 658, 824 N.Y.S.2d 421).
