DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal from the order entered September 9, 1998, is dismissed, as that order was superseded by the order dated January 19, 1999, made upon reargument; and it is further,
ORDERED that the order dated January 19, 1999, is affirmed; and it is further,
ORDERED that the respondent is awarded one bill of costs.
The plaintiff commenced the instant action seeking specific performance of a contract concerning the sale of a parcel of real property located in East Rockaway, New York. The defendants, contending that the plaintiff did not specifically comply with the contractual requirement to obtain a mortgage, refused to attend the closing.
Before specific performance of a contract for the sale of real property may be granted, a plaintiff must demonstrate that he or she was ready, willing, and able to perform on the original law day or, if time is not of the essence, on a subsequent date fixed by the parties or within a reasonable time thereafter ( see, Goller Place Corp. v. Cacase, 251 A.D.2d 287). The plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law since she demonstrated that she was ready, willing, and able to close the sale ( see, Huntington Min. Holdings v. Cottontail Plaza, 60 N.Y.2d 997, 998).
