​ WHEN THE FAILURE TO PRESENT FACTS IN A PRIOR MOTION IS NOT JUSTIFIED, THE SECOND MOTION DOES NOT FIT THE CRITERIA FOR A MOTION TO RENEW OR AN ALLOWABLE SUCCESSIVE SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank’s motion in this foreclosure action did not fit the criteria for a motion to renew or an allowable successive summary judgment motion. The judgment of foreclosure should not have been granted;

“When no reasonable justification is given for failing to present new facts on the prior motion, the Supreme Court lacks discretion to grant renewal” … . Here, the plaintiff failed to provide any justification for its failure to present the new evidence supporting its renewal motion as part of its prior motion.

Even considered as a successive motion for summary judgment, such a motion “should not be entertained in the absence of good cause, such as a showing of newly discovered evidence” … . Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Osias, 2022 NY Slip Op 03275, Second Dept 5-18-22

Practice Point: Attempting to bring a second motion which includes “new” facts, without a reasonable justification for leaving them out of the first motion, does not fit the criteria for a motion to renew or an allowable successive summary judgment motion.
