ORDER

BRENDA K. SANNES, District Judge.

On March 9, 2017, the Court entered Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale against Defendants Kathleen Cirelli and Michael Cirelli in the in the amount of $243,071.17 with an unpaid principal balance of $196,091.30 in connection with the mortgaged property at 11 Pinewood Hollow Road, Queensbury, NY 12804. (Dkt. No. 26). On December 21, 2017, Plaintiff U.S. Bank Trust, N.A., as Trustee for LSF9 Master Participation Trust, notified the Court that "the Plaintiff . . . entered into a loan modification agreement with the Defendants, which cured their mortgage loan default, resolved the foreclosure action, and nullified the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale." (Dkt. No. 28, ¶ 6). Presently before the Court is Plaintiff's motion to: vacate the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; voluntarily dismiss this action under Rule 41(a)(2); and cancel the Notice of Pendency under Rule 6514 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules. (Dkt. No. 27).

Rule 60(b)(5) states that "the court may relieve a party . . . from a final judgment, order, or proceeding" when "the judgment has been satisfied, released or discharged; it is based on an earlier judgment that has been reversed or vacated; or applying it prospectively is no longer equitable." Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5). "Rule 60(b) strikes a balance between serving the ends of justice and preserving the finality of judgments." Tapper v. Hearn, 833 F.3d 166, 170 (2d Cir. 2016) (quoting Nemaizer v. Baker, 793 F.2d 58, 61 (2d Cir. 1986)). "Although `it should be broadly construed to do substantial justice . . . final judgments should not be lightly reopened.'" Id. (quoting Nemaizer, 793 F.2d at 61).

Here, according to Plaintiff, the parties have "entered a loan modification agreement, which cured [Defendants'] mortgage loan default, resolved the foreclosure action, and nullified the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale." (Dkt. No. 28, ¶ 6). Defendants have not opposed Plaintiff's motion or contested its representations. Nor is there any basis on which to find Plaintiff's motion, which was made approximately nine months after judgment was entered, and one week after the parties entered the loan modification agreement, untimely. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(c)(1) ("A motion made under Rule 60(b) must be made within a reasonable time."). Finally, as it appears that Defendants have cured the mortgage loan default and entered a loan modification agreement, it would be inequitable to allow the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale in connection with the property at issue to remain in place. E. Sav. Bank, fsb v. Strez, 320 F.R.D. 9, 11 (E.D.N.Y. 2017) (granting motion to vacate judgment under Rule 60(b)(5) where the "the borrowers are now able to fulfill, and have been fulfilling, their obligations under the home mortgage agreement with ESB, applying the [Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale] prospectively, following the successful negotiation of and compliance by the Strezes with the Agreement, is no longer equitable"). Thus, Plaintiff's motion to vacate the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale is granted.

For these reasons, Plaintiff's motion for voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2), which states that "an action may be dismissed at the plaintiff's request only by court order, on terms that the court considers proper," is also granted.

Finally, Plaintiff seeks cancellation of the Notice of Pendency under N.Y. C.P.L.R. 6514(a), which mandates cancellation where, as here, an "action has been settled, discontinued or abated." Thus, Plaintiff's request is granted.

Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to vacate the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale (Dkt. No. 27) is GRANTED; and it is further

ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to vacate the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale (Dkt. No. 26); and it is further

ORDERED the Referee appointed herein to sell, pursuant to the Judgment of Foreclosure, be and hereby is relieved and discharged of any and all obligations and requirements thereunder; and it is further
