730 J & J, LLC v. Williams

In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schmidt, J.), dated July 22, 2004, which denied its motion for leave to enter a deficiency judgment against the defendant Gabriel Williams. Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs. Under the circumstances, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the plaintiff’s motion for leave to enter a deficiency judgment against the defendant Gabriel Williams (see RPAPL 1371 [2], [3]; Arbor Natl.
