ILEANA ALMODOVAR, et al., Plaintiffs-Respondents, v. THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Defendant, JOSEPH CAMBRIA, Defendant-Appellant, and ROBERT ALMODOVAR, et al., Defendants-Respondents.

Renewal of the motion for summary judgment was properly granted based on the renewal movants' submission of additional evidence not before the court on the original motion (see, Framapac Delicatessen v. Aetna Cas. Sur. Co., 249 A.D.2d 36). As to the merits of the summary judgment motion, we agree with the motion court that the affidavit of defendant Robert Almodovar, freshly before the court on renewal, was sufficient to raise a triable issue as to whether plaintiff Edwin Almodovar's injuries were caused by the vehicle driven by defendant Cambria. To the extent that defendant Robert Almodovar's prior statement to the police is inconsistent with his recent affidavit, such inconsistency suffices only to raise questions as to his credibility which are not appropriately resolved on a motion for summary judgment.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
