Appeal from a supplemental order of the Supreme Court, Chautauqua County (Emilio Colaiacovo, J.), entered January 22, 2024. The supplemental order expanded the powers and authority of the receiver to market and sell the property.
It is hereby ORDERED that the supplemental order so appealed from is unanimously modified on the law by vacating the first ordering paragraph and substituting therefor an ordering paragraph authorizing the receiver to sell the real property at public auction to the highest bidder and as modified the order is affirmed without costs.
Same memorandum as in Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Ams. v Fredonia Temple/Brigham Apts. LLC ([appeal No. 1] ___ A.D.3d ___ [Nov. 15, 2024] [4th Dept 2024]).
