Goodman v. Gudi
| Decision Date | 20 September 1999 |
| Citation | 695 N.Y.S.2d 576,264 A.D.2d 758 |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
| Parties | ARZIE GOODMAN, Appellant,<BR>v.<BR>MADHAV GUDI et al., Respondents, et al., Defendants. |
Bracken, J. P., Thompson, Goldstein, McGinity and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
CPLR 3212 (a) provides that motions for summary judgment shall be made no later than 120 days after the filing of the note of issue, except with leave of court on "good cause" shown. The Supreme Court is afforded latitude with respect to determining whether good cause exists for permitting late motions for summary judgment, and it may entertain a belated but meritorious motion in the interest of judicial economy where the opposing party fails to demonstrate prejudice (see, Quinlan v Kaufman, 258 AD2d 453). We find that the Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in allowing the respondents to file late motions for summary judgment (see, Quinlan v Kaufman, supra).
