 MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
 In an action to set aside a conveyance of real property and certain mortgages, 
the plaintiff appeals from (1) so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, 
Nassau County (Kelly, J.), dated March 7, 1986, as dismissed its complaint as 
against the defendant Clinton Capital Corporation (hereinafter Clinton), and 
awarded costs and disbursements to the defendant Public Equities Corp., and (2) 
an order of the same court (Robbins, J.), dated April 4, 1986, which denied its 
motion to amend the judgment **545 and retax the bill of costs and 
disbursements.
 ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from;  and it is 
further,
 ORDERED that the order is affirmed;  and it is further,
 ORDERED that the defendant Clinton Capital Corporation is awarded one bill of 
costs.
 The repayment of loans made by the plaintiff to National *541 Institutional 
Supply Corp. (hereinafter NIS), a family business owned by Murray Greenwald, was 
personally guaranteed by Murray Greenwald, his wife Sylvia Greenwald and his son 
Dennis Greenwald.   In February 1983, subsequent to the making of those loans, 
Murray and Sylvia Greenwald executed a $200,000 mortgage on their home, which 
was ultimately assigned to Clinton as security for the repayment of a $200,000 
loan made to Georgia National Textile (NY) Corp. (hereinafter Georgia), a 
corporation owned by Murray and Dennis Greenwald.   In May 1983, (after Murray 
Greenwald died), Sylvia Greenwald executed a second mortgage in favor of Clinton 
onthe Greenwald home in the amount of $200,000, to secure the repayment of 
another $200,000 loan made to Georgia.   The plaintiff's contention that the 
mortgages constituted fraudulent conveyances as against it (see, Debtor and 
Creditor Law §  273) because none of the moneys which were received in exchange 
for the mortgages given upon the Greenwald family home were personally received 
by Murray or Sylvia Greenwald is without merit.   The mortgages were clearly 
given in exchange for fair consideration (see, Debtor and Creditor Law §  272) 
which was paid to a corporation owned solely by individuals who had personally 
guaranteed the repayment to the plaintiff of the loans made to NIS.   
Consequently, it cannot be said that the assets of the plaintiff's guarantors 
were depleted at the expense of the plaintiff (see, Debtor and Creditor Law § §  
273-278).   The other contentions raised by the plaintiff concerning the 
propriety of the judgment are without merit.
 Moreover, we conclude that the plaintiff's motion to amend the judgment and 
retax the bill of costs and disbursements was properly denied.
