Orders, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Mary Ann Brigantti–Hughes, J.), entered June 25, 2014, and August 14, 2015, which denied petitioners' first and second motions, in this hybrid declaratory judgment/ article 78 proceeding, to renew their motion for leave to amend the petition's third cause of action, seeking a declaration that the 2012 sublease between respondents Harlem River Yards Ventures, Inc. and Fresh Direct is invalid, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court providently exercised its discretion in denying petitioners' renewal motions (see Shine v. Roosevelt Hosp., 26 A.D.3d 204, 809 N.Y.S.2d 45 [1st Dept.2006]

Under the circumstances, there is no substantive difference between the “preapproval” which we have already rejected as insufficient and the “approval” of the sublease, and alleged...
