HOFFELD v. LINDHOLM

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Jun 23, 2011

Please sign up to view Important Paras.

We conclude that despite plaintiffs' denomination in their notice of motion, the motion at issue was one for reargument ( see Fontanez v St. Barnabas Hosp., 24 AD3d 218). The denial of a motion for reargument is not appealable ( Rosen v Rosenholc, 303 AD2d 230).

Were we to consider the merits of plaintiffs' underlying motion, we would find that plaintiffs have violated the rule against successive summary judgment motions ( Jones v 636 Holding Corp., 73 AD3d 409, 409). Furthermore, denial of summary judgment on all claims would be appropriate due to remaining material issues of fact requiring trial ( Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324).

We have considered plaintiffs' remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
