Before: O'BRIEN, J.P., FRIEDMANN, FEUERSTEIN and COZIER, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted partial summary judgment to the plaintiff mortgagee. The plaintiff established his entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by submitting proof of the existence of the mortgage and note and alleging the appellant's failure to make the mortgage payments. In response, the appellant did not dispute that he had defaulted on the mortgage and asserted no defenses which would raise a question of fact as to his default, such as waiver, bad faith, fraud, or oppressive or unconscionable conduct by the mortgagee (see Nassau Trust Co. v. Montrose Concrete Prods. Corp., 56 N.Y.2d 175; Miller Planning Corp. v. Wells, 253 A.D.2d 859).
