Pursuant to the New York COVID-19 Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act (“CEEFPA”), foreclosure cases such as the instant matter have been stayed by operation of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that this action is stayed; and it is further

See Bernardino v. Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Inc., 763 Fed.Appx. 101, 103 (2d Cir. 2019) (there is “no jurisdictional significance to [a] docket entry marking [a] case as ‘closed,' which . . . was made for administrative or statistical convenience.”); Abreu v. Thomas, No. 17-CV-01312, 2019 WL 11157245, at *1 (N.D.N.Y. July 19, 2019) (“Administrative closure is a docket management device which allows the removal of cases from the court's docket in appropriate situations . . . The effect of an administrative closure is the same as a stay” (internal citations and quotation marks omitted)).
All scheduled conferences or other scheduled court appearances are cancelled.
SO ORDERED:
