Consolidated appeals involving final judgment in a mortgage foreclosure action and implicating the rules regarding stays of enforcement, the circuit court’s use of nunc pro tunc orders, appellate jurisdiction, and issues of mootness. Defendants appealed from the circuit court’s entry of summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff, judgment of foreclosure and sale, order approving sale, and denial of their post-confirmation of sale motion to vacate the judgment. Plaintiff filed two notices of appeal, one from the circuit court order staying enforcement of the judgment, which was entered more than 30 days after the circuit court denied the postjudgment motion to vacate, and one from the circuit court’s denial of plaintiff’s motion to reconsider the order staying enforcement of the judgment. The appellate court dismissed defendants’ appeal as moot and plaintiff’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. (HARRIS and MIKVA, concurring)
