O'Dell v. Caswell
Decision Date | 15 November 2004 |
Docket Number | 2003-11279. |
Citation | 12 A.D.3d 492,784 N.Y.S.2d 603,2004 NY Slip Op 08197 |
Parties | LINDA O'DELL et al., Plaintiffs, and AIMEE L. O'DELL, Appellant, v. COURTNEY P. CASWELL, Defendant, and CHARLES S. KELLEY III et al., Respondents. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
A motion for leave to renew must be supported by new or additional facts "not offered on the prior motion that would change the prior determination" (CPLR 2221 [e] [2]), and "shall contain reasonable justification for the failure to present such facts on the prior motion" (CPLR 2221 [e] [3]; see Rizzotto v Allstate Ins. Co., 300 AD2d 562 [2002]; Williams v Fitzsimmons, 295 AD2d 342 [2002]). A motion for "renewal `is not a second chance freely given to parties who have not exercised due diligence in making their first factual presentation'" (Rubinstein v Goldman, 225 AD2d 328, 329 [1996], quoting Matter of Beiny, 132 AD2d 190, 210 [1987]). The appellant failed to offer reasonable justification as to why the evidence proffered in support of her motion was not submitted at the time of the prior motion, inter alia, for summary judgment. Accordingly, that branch of the motion which was for leave to renew was properly denied (see Malik v Campbell, 289 AD2d 540 [2001]).
