vLuis Vazquez, appellant, et al., defendants.

Jeffrey Herzberg, P.C., Hauppauge, NY, for appellant.
Shapiro, DiCaro & Barak, LLC, Rochester, NY (John DiCaro and Virginia C. Grapensteter of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Luis Vazquez appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Joseph A. Santorelli, J.), dated June 24, 2018, and (2) an order of the same court also dated June 24, 2018. The first order, insofar as appealed from, granted those branches of the plaintiff's motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant Luis Vazquez and for an order of reference. The second order, insofar as appealed from, granted that branch of the plaintiff's motion which was to strike that defendant's answer and referred the matter to a referee to compute the amount due to the plaintiff.
ORDERED that the orders are affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
We affirm the orders insofar as appealed from for the reasons stated in Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v Cardona (172 AD3d 1313, 1314-15).
DILLON, J.P., AUSTIN, HINDS-RADIX and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
