Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York.

NANCY LEWIS, PLAINTIFF–RESPONDENT, v. CITY OF ROCHESTER, ROCHESTER POLICE DEPARTMENT AND DONALD T. MANFREDI, DEFENDANTS–APPELLANTS.

CA 17–01106

Decided: December 22, 2017

PRESENT: WHALEN, P.J., SMITH, CARNI, TROUTMAN, AND WINSLOW, JJ.

BRIAN F. CURRAN, CORPORATION COUNSEL, ROCHESTER (SPENCER L. ASH OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANTS–APPELLANTS. WILLIAM MATTAR, P.C., WILLIAMSVILLE (MATTHEW J. KAISER OF COUNSEL), FOR PLAINTIFF–RESPONDENT.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum: Contrary to defendants' contention, Supreme Court properly determined that their purported “motion to renew” is a motion for leave to reargue (see DiCienzo v Niagara Falls Urban Renewal Agency, 63 AD3d 1663, 1664 [4th Dept 2009]; see generally CPLR 2221[d], [e] ). In support of their motion, defendants failed to offer new facts that were unavailable when the court initially denied their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint (see Matter of Hamilton v. Alley, 143 AD3d 1235, 1236 [4th Dept 2016]; Hill v. Milan, 89 AD3d 1458, 1458 [4th Dept 2011] ). Thus, the motion was in effect a motion for leave to reargue, the denial of which is not appealable (see MidFirst Bank v. Storto, 121 AD3d 1575, 1575 [4th Dept 2014]; Britt v. Buffalo Mun. Hous. Auth., 115 AD3d 1252, 1252 [4th Dept 2014] ).
