The IAS Court improperly granted plaintiffs' motion to renew. A motion to renew is properly granted where new information arises which existed at the time the prior motion was made and is relevant to the moving party's claim, but which was unavailable or unknown to that party at the time of the original motion ( Azzopardi v. American Blower Corp., 192 A.D.2d 453, 453-454; Foley v. Roche, 68 A.D.2d 558, 568). Furthermore, "Renewal should be denied where the party fails to offer a valid excuse for not submitting the additional facts upon the original application." ( Supra, at 568.) In the instant case, Dr. Kim alleged that he did not have the actual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) report at the time he made his original affidavit. However, inasmuch as the MRI report was dated June 13, 1994 and Dr. Kim's original affidavit, dated June 28, 1994, indicated that he had had access to the report, plaintiffs fail to allege any excuse, reasonable or otherwise, for failure to submit the report with their submissions on the original motion.
In view of our disposition of the motion to renew, the motion for leave to serve a supplemental bill of particulars is denied as academic. We have considered the remainder of plaintiffs' contentions and find them to be without merit.
