HERE THE “RENEWED” SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION WAS BASED ON EVIDENCE WHICH WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST MOTION; THE “RENEWED” MOTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DENIED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s renewed motion for summary judgment should not have been granted; it was based on evidence which was available for the first motion:

… “[S]uccessive motions for summary judgment should not be entertained without a showing of newly discovered evidence or other sufficient justification” … . In support of the renewed motion for summary judgment, plaintiff presented an affirmation from Joseph DeCiutiis, a senior vice president at a title insurance company who represented that his company had determined that a secretary certificate of authority for the sale of the subject real property was “insurable authorization for the sale.” While the DeCiutiis affirmation is dispositive of the issue of fact identified by this Court in Apple Bank I with respect to plaintiff’s entitlement to summary judgment, plaintiff offers no reason why it could not have obtained a similar affirmation in support of its first summary judgment motion. Such evidence “was clearly available to [plaintiff] earlier, and thus should be rejected for failure to show due diligence in attempting to obtain the statement before the submission of the prior motion” … .  Apple Bank for Sav. v Prime Rok Real Estate LLC., 2026 NY Slip Op 03057, First Dept 5-14-26

Practice Point: A “successive” summary judgment motion which is based on evidence which could have been included in the initial motion will be denied.
