BLOCK, Senior District Judge:

In 2010, Koon Chun Hing Kee Soy & Sauce Factory, Ltd. (“Koon Chun”),
obtained a $989,426.13 judgment against, inter alii, Yi Qiang Zhan a/k/a JIMMY
ZHAN. In 2022, the Court added JESSICA YANG a/k/a YANG ZIAO GENG
a/k/a JESSICA QIAO as a debtor to that judgment. See Koon Chun Hing Kee Soy
& Sauce Factory, Ltd. v. Yang, 2022 WL 16715976 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 4, 2022).
Koon Chin now moves to consolidate the cases underlying those judgments and to

sell property owned by Zhan and Yang in satisfaction of them.
Zhan has not opposed the motion. Yang has filed an opposition pro se.
She offers no legal basis for preventing the sale, but claims the homestead
exemption of N.Y.C.P.L.R. § 5206. In reply, Koon Chun amends its request to
sell the property subject to Yang’s homestead exemption.1
Accordingly, Koon Chun’s motion is granted. Koon Chun is authorized to
proceed with the sale of Block 6920, Lot 11, in the Borough of Queens (commonly
known as 166th Street, Fresh Meadows, Queens). In addition, since execution of
the judgments are likely to present common issues, the Clerk shall consolidate
Koon Chun Hing Kee Soy & Sauce Factory, Ltd. v. Star Mark Management, Inc. et
al., Case No. 04-CV-2293, with this case.
SO ORDERED.

Although Yang claims the homestead exemption on behalf of herself and
Zhan, Zhan himself has not claimed it. There is no authority for the proposition
that one spouse can claim the exemption on behalf of the other.
