Second Department,
July 7, 1939.
Charles H. Buckley [George Link, Jr., with him on the brief], for the appellant.
Barney B. Fensterstock [Israel Akselrod and Theodore B. Wolf with him on the brief], for the respondent.

Opinion:
Order modified by striking therefrom all of its directory provisions and by providing in lieu thereof that plaintiff's motion be granted to the extent of confirming the referee's report of sale except as to deficiency and otherwise denied, and that the cross-motion of the defendant-executor be denied, and, as so modified, the order is unanimously affirmed, without costs. Judgment entered pursuant to said order vacated.
Plaintiff did not make an application for a deficiency judgment, as provided by section 1083 of the Civil .Practice Act. Said defendant's cross-motion for an order fixing the value of the premises in order to determine the amount of deficiency, if any, was properly denied, because by it said defendant really sought a modification of the judgment of foreclosure and sale.
Lazansky, P. J., Johnston and Adel, JJ., concur; Hagarty, J., concurs in result, with opinion; Close, J., concurs with Hagarty, J.
