ANDREA MENDEZ, Respondent, v. QUEENS PLUMBING SUPPLY, INC., et al., Defendants, and MP LIMO SERVICES CORP., INC., et al., Appellants.

The court properly granted reargument upon a showing that it had "overlooked or misapprehended the facts or law or for some reason mistakenly arrived at its earlier decision" ( Loland v City of New York, 212 AD2d 674, 674; see CPLR 2221 [d] [2]). The court had previously misapprehended the facts when it precluded the operator of each vehicle from testifying about negligent operation by the other. Plaintiff's deposition testimony revealed her lack of knowledge of the comparative negligence on the part of the operators. Appellants, the owner and operator of the vehicle in which plaintiff was a passenger, failed to meet their burden of demonstrating issues of fact as to fault through submission of evidence in admissible form, as opposed to mere speculation or conclusory allegations.

We have considered appellants' remaining arguments and find them without merit.
