SARA KINBERG, Appellant, v. YORAM KINBERG, Respondent.

Plaintiff's allegations in support of her claim that the separation agreement is unconscionable or a product of duress or fraud are inherently incredible or flatly contradicted by documentary evidence ( see Biondi v. Beekman Hill House Apt. Corp., 257 AD2d 76, 81, affd 94 NY2d 659), including the agreement itself and the minutes of the court's careful and thorough allocution of plaintiff, during which plaintiff showed no sign of being coerced or too ill to understand the agreement into which she was entering. The award of $250 to defendant as plaintiffs share of $5,600 in fees for a religious divorce in Israel is supported by the record. Plaintiffs motion for renewal four years after the original order was entered was not based on any additional facts that were unknown to her at the time of the original motion, and plaintiff failed to offer an excuse for omitting such facts ( see Elson v. Defren, 283 AD2d 109, 113; Tri-Land Props, v. 115 W. 28th St. Corp., 247 AD2d 233). In any event, the additional facts she presented did not warrant a departure from the motion court's original determinations.

As we denied plaintiff leave to consolidate an appeal from the resettled judgment with her appeals from the March 25, 2002 and December 5, 2006 orders (M-5057, M-5275, M-5332 [2007 NY Slip Op 82410(U)]), we have not considered her arguments in connection with the former appeal, and that appeal is dismissed.
