EVIDENCE SUBMITTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN REPLY PAPERS PROPERLY CONSIDERED.

The Second Department determined Supreme Court had properly considered an affidavit submitted with the bank’s reply papers in a mortgage foreclosure action. In the answering papers, appellant claimed that the bank did not properly serve notices of default. In the reply papers, the bank submitted an affidavit demonstrating proper service. The court explained when evidence submitted in reply papers can be considered:

Although a party moving for summary judgement cannot meet its prima facie burden by submitting evidence for the first time in reply … , and generally, evidence submitted for the first time in reply papers should be disregarded by the court … , exceptions to the rule arise when the evidence submitted is in response to allegations raised for the first time in the opposition papers … . Citimortgage, Inc. v Espinal, 2015 NY Slip Op 09242,, 2nd Dept 12-16-15
