MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: On this appeal from a judgment granting foreclosure of a mortgage and ordering the sale of the mortgaged premises, James Wynn, Sr., also known as James I. Wynn, Sr. (defendant), contends, inter alia, that the judgment should be reversed on the ground that the notice of pendency filed on August 25, 2000 was a nullity because it was filed after the expiration of the original notice of pendency, which was filed on March 13, 1997 (
see CPLR 6513; RPAPL 1331;
Matter of Sakow, 97 N.Y.2d 436, 442).
We reject that contention. We agree with the First and Second Departments that
Sakow, which holds that a second notice of pendency in a partition action cannot be filed after the expiration or cancellation of the original notice, is not applicable to a mortgage foreclosure action (
see Horowitz v. Griggs, 2 A.D.3d 404;
Campbell v. Smith, 309 A.D.2d 581, 582).
We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit.
