Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

37 A.D.3d 594 (N.Y. App. Div. 2007)

Opinion

No. 2005-03327.

February 13, 2007.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for medical malpractice, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Parga, J.), dated March 11, 2005, as denied his motion for leave to renew his prior motion, in effect, for leave to serve a late notice of claim.

Fitzgerald Fitzgerald, P.C., Yonkers, N.Y. (John E. Fitzgerald, John M. Daly, Eugene S. R. Pagano, Christopher J. Lennon, and Mitchell L. Gittin of counsel), for appellant.

Lorna B. Goodman, County Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Karen Hutson and David B. Goldin of counsel), for respondents.

Before: Mastro, J.P., Goldstein, Lifson and Carni, JJ.


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

A motion for leave to renew must be supported by new facts not offered on the prior motion that would change the prior determination, and the motion shall also contain a reasonable justification for the failure to present such facts on the prior motion (see CPLR 2221 [e]; Jacobs v Sabo, 17 AD3d 321; Hart v City of New York, 5 AD3d 438). Here, the new facts proffered would not have changed the prior determination ( see Mountains Realty Corp. v Gelbelman, 29 AD3d 874, 875; Steinberg v Steinberg, 15 AD3d 388, 389; Kingston v Brookdale Hosp. Med. Ctr., 4 AD3d 397, 398). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiffs motion for leave to renew his prior motion, in effect, for leave to serve a late notice of claim.

The parties' remaining contentions are without merit.
