DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The proposed intervenor, Richard Vitello, argues that the Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction to grant the motion of the defendant World Wide Asset Management Corp. (hereinafter World Wide) for an injunction restraining the sale, transfer, or disposal of certain chattels located at premises that World Wide leased to the plaintiff, Romonoff Restaurant Cabaret, Inc. Contrary to Vitello's contention, by moving for leave to intervene in this action under CPLR 1012, and thereby taking affirmative advantage of the court's jurisdiction, his claim was waived (see, Textile Technology Exch. v. Davis, 81 N.Y.2d 56, 58-59).
Vitello's motion for leave to intervene was properly denied by the Supreme Court. Contrary to Vitello's contention, he failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that he had a real and substantial interest in the outcome of the proceeding in which he sought to intervene (see, Matter of Rent Stabilization Assn. of New York City v. New York State Div. of Hous. and Community Renewal, 252 A.D.2d 111; Matter of Long Is. Light. Co. v. Assessor of Town of Huntington, 251 A.D.2d 331), such as a secured interest in the subject chattels he admitted removing from the demised premises.
In light of this determination, we need not reach Vitello's remaining contentions.
