[*1]Herman Schwyter, et al., appellants,

v

John DeNoble, Jr., respondent, et al., defendants.

Hall & Hall, LLP, Staten Island, NY (John G. Hall of counsel), for appellants.

John P. Gulino, P.C., Staten Island, NY, for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the plaintiffs appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Green, J.), dated June 25, 2014, as, upon granting the motion of the defendant John DeNoble, Jr., to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against him, did so with prejudice.

ORDERED that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, and the motion of the defendant John DeNoble, Jr., to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against him is granted without prejudice.

As the Supreme Court directed the dismissal of the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant John DeNoble, Jr., on the ground of lack of personal jurisdiction based upon improper service, the decretal paragraph of the order should not have stated that the dismissal was with prejudice (see Canzona v Atanasio, 118 AD3d 837; Trivedi v Golub, 46 AD3d 542).

CHAMBERS, J.P., DICKERSON, DUFFY and LASALLE, JJ., concur.
