    Frank Sinardi, Appellant, v Ralph Rivera et al., Respondents, et al., Defendants.
    [689 NYS2d 236]
    —In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Henry, J.), dated February 24, 1998, which denied his motion for summary judgment against the defendants Ralph Rivera and Lillian Rivera.
    Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
    The plaintiff established a prima facie case for summary judgment by submitting proof of the mortgage and note and the default of the defendants Ralph Rivera and Lillian Rivera (hereinafter the respondents) (CPLR 3212 [b]; see, Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324). The respondents, however, presented sufficient admissible evidence in the form of documentary evidence and an affidavit of one with personal knowledge of the underlying transaction to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the mortgage had been obtained by the plaintiffs fraudulent misrepresentations (see, Great Commn. v Northeastern Communications, 159 AD2d 921, 922; cf., Miller Planning Corp. v Wells, 253 AD2d 859; Chemical Bank v Bowers, 228 AD2d 407; Prudential Ins. Co. v Kelly, 174 AD2d 717; Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557, 562). Under these circumstances, the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiffs motion. Ritter, J. P., Friedmann, McGinity and Smith, JJ., concur.
