Background .
.
42nd .
This foreclosure action arisesout of an apartmetit located,at 350 West Streetin
Manhattan. The property isowned by defendants Hillman, Proctor, Medrano and Shemin. .
Plaintiffclaims that itserved defendants Hillman and Shemin by serving defendant Proctor.
Plaintiffcontends thatthere isa valid and recorded power of.attomey that entitledplaintiffto
serveProctor rather than serve Hillman and Shemin individually.
Defendants Hillman and Shemin claim that thepower of attorney expired and plaintiff's
service on Proctor did not effectuate service on them. These defendants^also claim that the
statuteof limitations expired because plaintiff starteda ca in 2009 thatwas laterdiscontinued.
....--
Discussion
The centralquestion on this motion iswhether the power of attorney allowed plaintiffto
serve Hillman and Shemin by serving only defendant Proctoi The power of attorney for Ron
Hillman from August 2006 statesthat "This Power of Attorney is expressly limited to the
42"d
purchase of property located at 350 West Street,Unit #35C, New York, New York 10036
(the"Property"), the accompanying Promissory Note and Mortgage given by Ron Hillman,
Medrano"
Robert Shemia, Kay (NYSCEF Doc. No. 144). The power of attorney signed by
Robert Shemin, also from August 2006, contains the same exact language (see NYSCEF Doc.
. .
No. 210).
The Court fmds thatthislimited power of relates to a specific transaction-
attorney only
the purchase of the apartment-and did not permit plaintiffto use itto serve these defendants
years later. Plaintiffprovides no basis for thisCourt to find that itcould serve defendants

Hillman and Shemin by only serving Proctor. Clearly, these defendants decided the sign a power
of attorney to facilitate
the purchase of the property; that does not mean that plaintiffcould serve
Proctor instead of Hillman and Shemin when commencing a foreclosure action.
The Court recognizes that thepower of attomey granted Proctor powers relating to
litigation." litigation" of.
"claims and But that relatesto "claims and arisingout of the purchase
the property, not a subsequent default on the note and mortgage. Simply put, the Court cannot
inferthat defendants intended the power of attorneyto grant Proctor powers for everything
relatedto theproperty indefinitely. The language contained on the second page of the power of
attorney evidences a clearintent to limitProctor's powers to thepurchase of the property.
Therefore, plaintiffwas not entitled to serveHillman and Shen in by serving Proctor and the case
. .
isdismissed against them.
The Court also denies plaintiff'smotion for an extension of time to serve Hillman and
Shemin. Plaintiffhas not demonstrated that good cause exists or thatitis inthe interestof justice
(see CPLR 306-b) to extend itstime to serve these defendants. For some reason, plaintiff
decided to rely on a power of attomey that was expressly limited and not personally serve
Hillman and Shemin. The factthat this Court disagreed with plaintiff s judgment about using the
power of attorney forservice of process isnot a reason to extend plaintiffs time to serve ritore
than four years afterthiscase began
The Court'sdecisionis not based upon the expiration
ofthe statute of because
fimitations commenced
plaintiff this
actionwithinsix years ofter
the filing
the complaint
in the 2009action.A reviewof the SupremeCourt Record s
(" in December and this action
began
On-Line Library SCROLL") reveals
that the 2009case was commenced 2009
in February2015. Moreover, the alleged
revocationof the power (NYSCEF
of attorney Doc. No. 145) playedno
role in the Court's
decisionbecause there is no evidence
it was ever recorded.

The motion(MS 007) by defendant Shemin to dismiss isgranted to theextent that allclaims against him are severed and dismissed. Background . . 42nd . This foreclosure action arisesout of an apartmetit located,at 350 West Streetin Manhattan. The property isowned by defendants Hillman, Proctor, Medrano and Shemin. . Plaintiffclaims that itserved defendants Hillman and Shemin by serving defendant Proctor. Plaintiffcontends thatthere isa valid and recorded power of.attomey that entitledplaintiffto serveProctor rather than serve Hillman and Shemin individually. Defendants Hillman and Shemin claim that thepower of attorney expired and plaintiff's service on Proctor did not effectuate service on them. These defendants^also claim that the statuteof limitations expired because plaintiff starteda ca in 2009 thatwas laterdiscontinued. ....-- Discussion The centralquestion on this motion iswhether the power of attorney allowed plaintiffto serve Hillman and Shemin by serving only defendant Proctoi The power of attorney for Ron Hillman from August 2006 statesthat "This Power of Attorney is expressly limited to the 42"d purchase of property located at 350 West Street,Unit #35C, New York, New York 10036 (the"Property"), the accompanying Promissory Note and Mortgage given by Ron Hillman, Medrano" Robert Shemia, Kay (NYSCEF Doc. No. 144). The power of attorney signed by Robert Shemin, also from August 2006, contains the same exact language (see NYSCEF Doc. . . No. 210). The Court fmds thatthislimited power of relates to a specific transaction- attorney only the purchase of the apartment-and did not permit plaintiffto use itto serve these defendants years later. Plaintiffprovides no basis for thisCourt to find that itcould serve defendants as0039/2015 HSBc BANK USA, NATIONAL vs. PROcTOR, SUSAN Page 2 of 4 Motion No.00s 006 007 2 of 4 8 of 11 FILED: SUFFOLK COUNTY CLERK 08/03/2022 05:05 PM INDEX NO. 611813/2021 NYSCEF DOC.

No. 21 8 RECE1VED NYSCE F : OS/ 14 /201 Hillman and Shemin by only serving Proctor. Clearly, these defendants decided the sign a power of attorney to facilitate the purchase of the property; that does not mean that plaintiffcould serve Proctor instead of Hillman and Shemin when commencing a foreclosure action. The Court recognizes that thepower of attomey granted Proctor powers relating to litigation." litigation" of. "claims and But that relatesto "claims and arisingout of the purchase the property, not a subsequent default on the note and mortgage. Simply put, the Court cannot inferthat defendants intended the power of attorneyto grant Proctor powers for everything relatedto theproperty indefinitely. The language contained on the second page of the power of attorney evidences a clearintent to limitProctor's powers to thepurchase of the property. Therefore, plaintiffwas not entitled to serveHillman and Shen in by serving Proctor and the case . . isdismissed against them. The Court also denies plaintiff'smotion for an extension of time to serve Hillman and Shemin. Plaintiffhas not demonstrated that good cause exists or thatitis inthe interestof justice (see CPLR 306-b) to extend itstime to serve these defendants. For some reason, plaintiff decided to rely on a power of attomey that was expressly limited and not personally serve Hillman and Shemin. The factthat this Court disagreed with plaintiff s judgment about using the power of attorney forservice of process isnot a reason to extend plaintiffs time to serve ritore than four years afterthiscase began The Court'sdecisionis not based upon the expiration ofthe statute of because fimitations commenced plaintiff this actionwithinsix years ofter the filing the complaint in the 2009action.A reviewof the SupremeCourt Record s (" in December and this action began On-Line Library SCROLL") reveals that the 2009case was commenced 2009 in February2015. Moreover, the alleged revocationof the power (NYSCEF of attorney Doc. No. 145) playedno role in the Court's decisionbecause there is no evidence it was ever recorded. 860039/2015 HSBc BANK USA, NATIONAL vs. PRocToR, SUSAN Page 3 of 4 Motion No.005006 007 . 3 of 4 9 of 11 FILED: SUFFOLK COUNTY CLERK 08/03/2022 05:05 PM INDEX NO. 611813/2021 NYSCEF DOC.
