GREEN POINT SAVINGS BANK, Respondent, v. DENNIS G. CLARK et al., Defendants and SANDI CLARK, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court did not err in denying the motion by the appellant Sandi Clark to vacate the judgment of foreclosure and sale entered upon her default in answering without holding a hearing to determine the validity of service of process. The affidavit of the process server constituted prima facie evidence of proper service pursuant to CPLR 308 (1), and the appellant's allegations were insufficient to refute its contents ( see, Simmons First Natl. Bank v. Mandracchia, 248 A.D.2d 375; Remington Invs. v. Seiden, 240 A.D.2d 647; Sando Realty Corp. v. Aris, 209 A.D.2d 682). The minor discrepancies between the appellant appearance and the description in the process server's affidavit were insufficient to raise an issue of fact ( see, Simmons First Natl. Bank v. Mandracchia, supra), and the appellant failed to substantiate her claim that she was not at home at the time of service ( cf., Green Point Sav. Bank v. Taylor, 92 A.D.2d 910).

O'Brien, J.P., Santucci, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
