HCA EQUIPMENT FINANCE, LLC, respondent, v. Matthew MASTRANTONE, appellant.

Matthew Mastrantone, Garrison, N.Y., appellant pro se. Magnozzi & Kye, LLP, Huntington, N.Y. (Cynthia S. Butera of counsel), for respondent.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for breach of contract, the defendant appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Putnam County (Lubell, J.), dated February 27, 2013, which, upon an order of the same court dated January 11, 2013, granting the plaintiff's unopposed motion for summary judgment on the complaint and to dismiss the affirmative defenses, among other things, is in favor of the plaintiff and against him in the principal sum of $117,055.46.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, with costs.

The defendant failed to submit papers to the Supreme Court in opposition to the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on the complaint and to dismiss the affirmative defenses, and the motion was granted on default. “No appeal lies from an order or judgment granted upon the default of the appealing party” (J.F.J. Fuel, Inc. v. Tran Camp Contr. Corp., 105 A.D.3d 908, 908, 963 N.Y.S.2d 680;see CPLR 5511). Since the judgment appealed from was entered upon the defendant's default in opposing the motion, the appeal must be dismissed ( see Lumbermen's Mut. Cas. Co. v. Fireman's Fund Am. Ins. Co., 117 A.D.2d 588, 498 N.Y.S.2d 59).

DICKERSON, J.P., LEVENTHAL, HALL and MILLER, JJ., concur.
