Cuthbert v Foreign Dev. Serv., Ltd., 2018 NY Slip Op 03812 [1st Dept. 2018]
The court providently exercised its discretion in granting defendants' motion for renewal and reargument of their prior motion for summary judgment so that they could submit a lease extension to which they had referred in their initial moving papers but which they had inadvertently failed to attach to the papers (see CPLR 2001).
Hernandez v Marcano, 2018 NY Slip Op 03816 [1st Dept. 2018]
The court improvidently exercised its discretion in denying plaintiff's motion to renew, which sought to submit an affirmation by her treating physician that, although referred to in her opposition papers, had been inadvertently omitted from the set of papers filed in court (see CPLR 2221[e]). Plaintiff demonstrated that the omission was the result of law office failure and that consideration of the affirmation would not prejudice defendants (see Cruz v Castanos, 10 AD3d 277 [1st Dept 2004]; Cespedes v McNamee, 308 AD2d 409 [1st Dept 2003]; see also Telep v Republic El. Corp., 267 AD2d 57, 58 [1st Dept 1999]).
