JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. v Bauer, 2012 NY Slip Op 00932 (2d Dept. 2012)
“[S]omething more than a bald assertion of forgery is required to create an issue of fact contesting the authenticity of a signature,” and Bauer’s “affidavit was alone inadequate to raise an issue of fact necessitating a trial” (Banco Popular N.A. v Victory Taxi Mgt., 1 NY3d 381, 384; see [*2]Seaboard Sur. Co. v Nigro Bros., 222 AD2d 574).”
