HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v. Singh

In HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v. Singh (Index No. 40221/07), Justice Hinds-Radix denied an order of reference on April 21, 2008 due to a lack of certificate of conformity. Plaintiff voluntarily discontinued that action on June 13, 2008. In HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v. Singh (Index No. 21875/08), the Court denied an order of reference on March 1, 2013 due to inadequate service of the complaint upon Singh and an inadequate explanation of the effect of the Bankruptcy Action on the foreclosure proceeding. The Court also noted that, prior to plaintiff's filing the motion for an order of reference, Singh transferred the Property to Dwight and that any service of the renewed motion should be made upon Dwight. By order of the Court on July 11, 2013, the action was voluntarily discontinued, without prejudice, on plaintiff's motion.
