Tymeik WILLIAMS, etc., appellant, v. NASSAU COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER, et al., respondents.
In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for medical malpractice, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Parga, J.), dated March 11, 2005, as denied his motion for leave to renew his prior motion, in effect, for leave to serve a late notice of claim.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
A motion for leave to renew must be supported by new facts not offered on the prior motion that would change the prior determination, and the motion shall also contain a reasonable justification for the failure to present such facts on the prior motion (see CPLR 2221[e]; Jacobs v. Sabo, 17 A.D.3d 321, 791 N.Y.S.2d 835; Hart v. City of New York, 5 A.D.3d 438, 772 N.Y.S.2d 574). Here, the new facts proffered would not have changed the prior determination (see Mountains Realty Corp. v. Gelbelman, 29 A.D.3d 874, 875, 816 N.Y.S.2d 150; Steinberg v. Steinberg, 15 A.D.3d 388, 389, 790 N.Y.S.2d 63; Kingston v. Brookdale Hosp. & Med. Ctr., 4 A.D.3d 397, 398, 771 N.Y.S.2d 385). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiff's motion for leave to renew his prior motion, in effect, for leave to serve a late notice of claim.
The parties' remaining contentions are without merit.
