Doris M. Gonzalez Index No. 35507/2014E Defendants. Recitatics, as required by CPLR 2219(a), of the papers considered in the review of motion(s) and/or cross-motion(s), as indicated below: Papers Numbered Order to Show Cause and Affidavits Annexed I Opposition 2 Dafandant Robert inter to enjoin the Dudley (hereinafter, "defendant") moves, alia, foreclosure sale herein-and vacate the judgment of foreclosure and sale --- The defendant, who has not appeared in this action, moves to vacate the judgment of forad-ure and sale (Judgment, Feb. 22, 2016, Stinson, J.) forproperty located at 1354 Teller Avenue in Bronx County that was obtained on default. Service was made on defendant by delivery and mailing to hisplace of employment at Poe Dudley & A33uciates LLC Electrical Contractors, 6 East Clarke Place in Bronx County.1 The plaintiff mai± that the defendant does not reside at the premiaca at 1354 Teller Avenue, and that accordingly service was made at defendant's place of empicyñient. Moreover, because the plaintiff asserts that the premises are not owner occupied, no CPLR 3408 conference was sought or held. Defendant now moves to vacate the judgment. He attests that he lives on the third out" floor, and "rents two apartments. Defendant alleges that he first learned of the 1 Tothe extent thatdefendent argues that the mortgage.requires service at the martgaged premises, " that.provision governs "geqcas and has not been shown to include legalprocess. 1 of 6 2 of 8 FILED: BRONX COUNTY CLERK 08/08/2019 03:38 PM INDEX NO. 35507/2014E NYSCEF DOC.

NO. 70 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 11/28/2018 pendency of this action in February 2017 when he received a notice of sale by mail. He asserts that he desires to obtain a loan modification. Plaintiff asserts m oppumtion that five foreclosure sales, between May 16, 2016 and March 27, 2017, were emcelled due to loss mitigation. Further, defendant filed for bankruptcy on July 10, 2017, with the case being terminated on October 23, 2017. Defendet's unsubstantiated and unelaborated denial of service is insufficient to warrant vacating the judgment for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to CPLR 5015. A process server's affidavit of service constitúté riina facie evid6nce of vulid servicõ (US Cänsedi± v. APG, Inc., 82 A.D.3d 753 [2d Dept. 2011]), and defendant's general denial of service, without any factual elaboration, is insüfficient to rebut the presumption established by the process server's affidavit. (See Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v. Dixon, 93 A.D.3d 430 [2d Dept. 2012] [in mortgage foreclosure action, defendant's conclusory denial of receipt of a copy of the summons and complaint was insufñcient to rebut the presumption of proper service established by the affidavit of the plaintiffs process server].) Defendant has not denied that he worked at the premises where service was effectuated, or that the person identified as accepting service was a person of suitable age and discretion. He has not provided any evidence to contest the averments of the process server's affidavit other than a mere statement that he was not served, which is insufficient under the circumst£ñces. A party seeking to vacate a default pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(1) must demonstrate a reasonable excuse for his or her delay in appearing and answering the comp!±int, and a potentially meritorious defense to the action. (PHH Mtge. Corp. v. Muricy, 135 A.D.3d 725 [2d Dept. 2016].) In the present case, plaintiff has not moved to yacate her default, .nor established a reasonqble excuse for her defatfit.(Chasè Home Fin., LLC v Minott, 115 A.D.3d 634, 634 [2d Dept. 2014] [defendant's claims that she did not know that she needed to submit 2 of 6 3 of 8 FILED: BRONX COUNTY CLERK 08/08/2019 03:38 PM INDEX NO. 35507/2014E NYSCEF DOC.

Toussaint, 136 A.D.3d 861[2d Dept. 2016] [as defenda.at failedto proffer an excuse for failing to appear or answer the comp!eint, itwas unnecessary to consider whether she sufficiently demonstrated the existence of a pctends:ly meritorious defense] ; BAC Home Loans Servicing, .LP v. Reardon, 132 A.D.3d 790 [2d Dept. 2015] ["Hereethe.appellants failed to offer any excuse for their default. Accordingly, it is not ry to consider whether they demonstrated the existence of a potentially meritoricüs defense, including lack of standing."]) . . To the extent that defendant's motion may be treated as also having been made to vacate the default judgment based on excusable default pursuant to CPLR 5015 (a) (1), defendant's con±=ory and unsubstantiated denial of service of the su--eas and complaint did not caustitute a reaca-hla excuse for his default. (See HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v Powell, 148 AD3d 1123, 1124, 51 N.Y.S.3d 116 [2d Dept. 2017] ; Town House St., LLC v New Fellowship Full Gospel Baptist Church, Inc., 29 AD3d 893, 894, 815 N.Y.S.2d 281 [2d.Dept. 2006]). Defendant is not entitled to relief pursuant to CPLR 317. Defendant failed to demonstrate that he did not receive actual notice of the summane and complaint in time to . defend the action. Defendant's mere denial of receipt of the summons and complaint is insufficient to establish lack of actual notice of the action for the purpose of CPLR 31p (See Ultimate One Distrib. Corp. v 2900 Stillwell Ave., LLC, 140 AD3d 1054, 1055, 36 N.Y.S.3d 142 [2d Dept. 2016].)

NO. 70 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 11/28/2018 notice of this action for the first time in February, 2017, is inconsistent with the fact that he has been seeking loss mitigation since early 2016. The fact that the defeñdset desires a loan modificatioñ does not present a defense. (Flagstar Bank, FSB v. Davis, 50 Misc. 3d 1205(A), 28 N.Y.S.3d 648 [Sup. Ct., Suff. Co 2015] ["The failure to negotiate in good faith a loan modifcedon agreement or other resolution of a defaulted loan is not a defense to a mortgage foreclosure claim."]i ÏlSBC Bank USA, N.A. v. Rahman, 48 Misc. 3d 1230(A), 20 N.Y.S.3d 292 [Sup. Ct., Queens Co. 2015] ["The fact that .defendant wishes to modify the mortgage is not a defense to the foreclosure action."]) Lastly, the defendant has not established a meritorious defense based on his claim that he was improperly denied a CPLR .3408 conference. Defendant has not adduced neither any evidence nor any document showing that he resides, or ever resided, at the premises. Moreover, in the context of this action, where defendant has sought a loan modiñcation remiting in the cancellation of numerous foreclosure sales, and has sought bankruptcy pictection, no purpose would be secomplished by directing a CPLR 3408 conference Accordingly, the motion is denied. All stays are vacated. This constitutes the Decision and Order of the Court. Dated: Hon. Doris .
