Opinion
November 17, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Yoswein, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment in this action to foreclose a mortgage. The plaintiff established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, and the appellants failed to advance any defenses which could raise a triable issue of fact ( see, North Fork Bank v Hamptons Mist Mgt. Corp., 225 A.D.2d 596; Village Bank v. Wild Oaks Holding, 196 A.D.2d 812; see also, Long Is. Sav. Bank v Denkensohn, 222 A.D.2d 659; Johnson v. Gaughan, 128 A.D.2d 756).
The appellants' remaining contentions are either not properly before this Court, as they are raised for the first time on appeal ( see, Green Point Sav. Bank v. Oppenheim, 217 A.D.2d 571), or are without merit.
Thompson, J. P., Pizzuto, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
