THE PURPORTED STIPULATION OF DISCONTINUANCE OF THE FORECLOSURE ACTION AND THE PURPORTED NOTICE OF DISCONTINUANCE WERE INVALID; SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE DETERMINED THE ACCELERATION OF THE MORTGAGE DEBT HAD BEEN REVOKED (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined both the purported stipulation of discontinuance and the purported notice of discontinuance were invalid. Therefore the judge should not have determined the acceleration of the mortgage debt had been revoked:

…Supreme Court erred in discontinuing the action based upon a purported stipulation of discontinuance, and then interceding on the plaintiff’s behalf to declare the acceleration of the loan revoked. The stipulation was clearly ineffective as it was only signed by the attorney for the plaintiff (see CPLR 3217[a][2] …). Further, to the extent that the stipulation was construed as a notice of discontinuance, it was equally ineffective to discontinue the action, as it was not served upon the appellant (see CPLR 3217[a][1] …).
