DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the notices of appeal from the order dated April 30, 2002, are deemed to be premature notices of appeal from the amended judgment ( see CPLR 5520[c]); and it is further,
ORDERED that the appeal by the plaintiff from the amended judgment is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as it is not aggrieved by the amended judgment ( see CPLR 5511); and it is further,
ORDERED that the amended judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from by the defendant Prol Properties Corp., without costs or disbursements.
We note that no notice of appeal was filed on behalf of the defendant City of New York. Accordingly, although the City has filed a brief purporting to be an appellant, there is no basis to entertain the arguments it asserts herein.
Contrary to the contention of the defendant Prol Properties Corp., the Supreme Court properly refused to set aside the referee's deed ( see Matter of Tax Foreclosure Action No. 33, 141 A.D.2d 437; Administrative Code of the City of New York § 11-412; see also Matter of Vilca v. Village of Port Chester, 255 A.D.2d 593; Best v. City of Rochester, 195 A.D.2d 1073).
In light of this determination, we need not reach the parties' remaining contentions.
