DEFICIENCIES IN THE BANK’S PROOF OF DEFAULT, STANDING AND THE AMOUNT OWED COULD NOT BE CURED BY SUBMITTING ADDITIONAL PROOF IN THE REPLY PAPERS IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff bank did not submit sufficient proof of defendants’ default, standing or the amount owed, and the deficiencies could not be cured by a second affidavit submitted in reply:

… [T]he plaintiff submitted the affidavit of its assistant vice president, Keith Weinkauf. As to the defendants’ alleged default, Weinkauf stated that the defendants “fail[ed] to make the full payment due on the [m]aturity [d]ate” of the note. On the issue of standing, Weinkauf averred that “[e]ffective March 31, 2016, Montauk Credit Union merged into Bethpage Federal Credit Union.” Further, with respect to the amount owed by the defendants, Weinkauf stated that the current unpaid principal balance due on the note was $58,165.61, plus interest, late charges, and fees. However, apart from producing a copy of the note itself, Weinkauf submitted no evidence in admissible form with his affidavit to establish the existence of a default, the plaintiff’s standing, or the calculation of the unpaid amount owed by the defendants … . Although the plaintiff later submitted, with its reply papers, a second affidavit from Weinkauf, along with supporting documentary evidence, to establish its standing, the plaintiff could not, under the circumstances presented, rely on the second affidavit to correct deficiencies inherent in the original one … . Bethpage Fed.
