SHEENA WOODS, ETC., ET AL., plaintiffs-appellants, v. MARTHA ELENA ALVAREZ, defendant third-party plaintiff-appellant; HECTOR SALANDY, ET AL., third-party defendants-respondents.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the appeal by the plaintiffs is dismissed; and it is further,

ORDERED that the judgment is reversed, on the law, so much of the order entered January 12, 2001, as, in effect, upon renewal, granted motion of the third-party defendant for summary judgment dismissing the third-party complaint is vacated, and the motion is denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the defendant third-party plaintiff, payable by the third-party defendant.

The Supreme Court should have considered the additional evidence submitted in opposition to the third-party defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the third-party complaint as the evidence was submitted in response to a contention first made in the third-party defendants' reply papers (see Teplitskaya v. 3096 Owners Corp., 289 A.D.2d 477). Further, the Supreme Court should have denied the motion because there are issues of fact as to whether the third-party defendants made reasonable and diligent efforts to abate the lead paint condition in the house where the plaintiffs previously resided, after receiving actual notice of the condition, and whether the infant plaintiffs suffered additional injuries after the third-party defendants received actual notice (see Bellony v. Siegel, 288 A.D.2d 411; Perez v. Ward, 271 A.D.2d 590).

The plaintiffs' appeal must be dismissed because they are not aggrieved by the judgment (see CPLR 5511).

RITTER, J.P., ALTMAN, H. MILLER and COZIER, JJ., concur.
