Justice Robert Quinian who sits in a foreclosure court in Suffolk County exercised his discretion to make decisions in this case without appointing a referee to compute the amount owed by the homeowner.

Justice Quinian found plaintiff’s motion was brought more than a year after the defendants defaulted in submitting an answer.

He therefore denied plaintiff’s motion and denied their ability to move forward with the default under the expedited procedures.
