On XX/XX/XXXX in an email XXXX XXXX XXXX, Attorneys for XXXX XXXX XXXX, did state I have contacted the lender and requested that they remove us from the action and explained the situation.

In this Motion to Dismiss, Defendants did assert and state : WE recognize the Scheme to Defraud being perpetrated upon the defendants, therefore, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX request dismissal with prejudice.

We continue to suffer under severe duress in this time of XXXX XXXX epidemic, surely the court can find a way to rule on the matter under the Cares Act.

CPLR 3211 ( d ) supports new evidence presented by the Defendants and these facts were unavailable to the XXXX. The court did grant the PLAINTIFFS MOTION TO CONFIRM REFEREE REPORT AND FOR A JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE AND SALE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, we are asking the court to reverse this decision and CPLR 3211 Motion to Dismiss supports this request to STAY THE FORECLOSURE AND SALE at the very least, CPLR 3211 ( f ) allows for Defendants to have time to plead.
