Head Matter:
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Respondent, v Dennis McGloster et al., Appellants, et al., Defendants.
[849 NYS2d 784]

Opinion:
In a mortgage foreclosure action, the defendants Dennis Mc-Gloster and Sandra McGloster appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Berliner, J.), dated March 16, 2007, which denied their motion to vacate a judgment of foreclosure and sale of the same court entered November 4, 2005, upon their default in answering the complaint.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The motion of the defendants Dennis McGloster and Sandra McGloster to vacate the judgment of foreclosure and sale was properly denied. The affidavit of the process server constituted prima facie evidence of proper service pursuant to CPLR 308 (2) (see Bankers Trust Co. of Cal. v Tsoukas, 303 AD2d 343 [2003]; NYCTL 1997-1 Trust v Nillas, 288 AD2d 279 [2001]; Simmons First Natl. Bank v Mandracchia, 248 AD2d 375 [1998]). Con trary to the movants' contentions, the claimed discrepancies between Sandra McGloster's appearance and the description contained in the process server's affidavit were too minor to warrant a hearing (see NYCTL 1997-1 Trust v Nillas, 288 AD2d 279 [2001]; Green Point Sav. Bank v Clark, 253 AD2d 514 [1998]; Simmons First Natl. Bank v Mandracchia, 248 AD2d 375 [1998]). Spolzino, J.P., Skelos, Lifson and McCarthy, JJ., concur.
