Opinion
April 8, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kutner, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiff established its entitlement to summary judgment by offering proof of the appellant's mortgage and the appellant's default in payment ( see, Home Sav. Bank v. Schorr Bros. Dev. Corp., 213 A.D.2d 512; Citibank v. Pierre, 213 A.D.2d 443). The appellant was then required to assert any defenses which would raise a question of fact concerning her default on the mortgage ( see, Marine Midland Bank v. Freedom Rd. Realty Assocs., 203 A.D.2d 538; Sloane v. Gape, 191 A.D.2d 549). The appellant's conclusory and unsubstantiated assertions are not supported by competent evidence and are insufficient to defeat the plaintiff's motion ( see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557; Home Sav. Bank v. Schorr Bros. Dev. Corp., supra).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Copertino, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
