“Where, as here, a plaintiff‘s standing to commence a foreclosure action is placed in issue by the defendant, it is incumbent upon the plaintiff to prove its standing to be entitled to relief” (Citimortgage, Inc. v Stosel, 89 AD3d 887, 888 [2011]; see Bank of N.Y. v Silverberg, 86 AD3d 274, 279 [2011]; U.S. Bank, N.A. v Collymore, 68 AD3d 752, 753 [2009]). “A plaintiff establishes its standing in a mortgage foreclosure action by demonstrating that it is both the holder оr assignee of the subject mortgage and the holder or assigneе of the underlying note at the time the action is commenced” (Kondaur Capital Corp. v McCary, 115 AD3d 649, 650 [2014]; see HSBC Bank USA v Hernandez, 92 AD3d 843 [2012]; Bank of N.Y. v Silverberg, 86 AD3d at 279; U.S. Bank, N.A. v Collymore, 68 AD3d at 753). “The plaintiff may demonstrate that it is the holder or assignee of the undеrlying note by showing ‘[e]ither a written assignment of the underlying note or the physiсal delivery of the note‘” (Kondaur Capital Corp. v McCary, 115 AD3d at 650, quoting U.S. Bank, N.A. v Collymore, 68 AD3d at 754; see Aurora Loan Servs., LLC v Weisblum, 85 AD3d 95, 108 [2011]).

Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853 [1985]). The Supreme Court also proрerly denied that branch of the appellants’ subsequent motion which was for leave to renew that cross motion and their opposition to the plaintiff‘s motion for summary judgment on the complaint аnd for the appointment of a referee to compute the amounts due to it, as the appellants failed to demonstrate that the “new facts” would have changed the prior determination (
