A COMBINED MOTION TO REARGUE AND MOTION TO RENEW IS PROPER; HERE SUPREME COURT CORRECTLY DENIED THE MOTION TO REARGUE BUT SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED THE MOTION TO RENEW; MATTER REMANDED (FIRST DEPT). ​

The First Department, remanding the matter to Supreme Court, determined the combined motion to reargue and motion to renew was properly brought. The motion to reargue was properly denied, but the motion could should have considered the motion to renew:

A combined motion for leave to reargue and renew is permitted so long as each branch of the motion is separately identified and supported (CPLR 2221 [f]). Here, the motion court considered plaintiff’s combined motion to be “couched” as one for reargument and improvidently failed to address or analyze plaintiff’s application for renewal.

Plaintiff in this case submitted a medical expert’s affidavit as new or additional facts not included on the motion to vacate, which this Court in the past has deemed to be sufficient to support a motion to renew … . As plaintiff properly submitted a combined motion for reargument and renewal, CPLR 2221 (f) required the court to “decide each part of the motion as if it were separately made.” Pellerano v New York City Health & Hosps. Corp., 2024 NY Slip Op 05899, First Department 11-26-24

Practice Point: It is proper to combine a motion to reargue and a motion to renew. The motions should be considered separately. Here the denial of the motion to reargue was proper but the motion to renew should also have been considered. The matter was remanded.
