(Court opinion corrected 3/30/17.) Court entered judgment of foreclosure and sale in Plaintiff's favor; and granted motion to confirm judicial sale. Court was within its discretion to deny Defendant's motion for discovery, and in granting Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. Defendant had significant period of time to engage in discovery and to respond to Plaintiff's summary judgment motion, but failed to take timely action. Court did not err in simultaneously confirming judicial sale and granting its counsel's motion to withdraw. Defendant has not raised any claim of prejudice in confirming sale without allowing 21-day continuance.As Defendant failed to set forth argument under any one of the four bases listed in Section 15-1508(b) of Mortgage Foreclosure Law, court was required to confirm sale. (ELLIS and BURKE, concurring.)
