AVENUE I CORP. v. 515 AVENUE

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Oct 9, 2007

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

Pursuant to CPLR 2221 (e) (2), (3), a motion for leave to renew must be "based upon new facts not offered on the prior motion that would change the prior determination or shall demonstrate that there has been a change in the law that would change the prior determination," and the motion papers must contain a "reasonable justification for the failure to present such facts on the prior motion."

Although the Court of Appeals' reversal of the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department's decision in Kralik v 239 E. 79th St. Owners Corp. ( 5 NY3d 54, 59), changed the general law relevant to the plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, it would not change the original determination of that motion in this action. The controlling documents failed to demonstrate that the plaintiff had been designated a holder of unsold shares, with all of the rights emanating therefrom. Thus, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits ( see CPLR 6301; Aetna Ins. Co. v Capasso, 75 NY2d 860; W.T. Grant Co. v Srogi, 52 NY2d 496; Price Paper Twine Co. v Miller, 182 AD2d 748), and the Supreme Court properly denied that branch of its motion which was for leave to renew.
