Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. v. Green

Citations: 215 A.D.2d 433; 627 N.Y.S.2d 563; 1995 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4918

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; May 8, 1995; New York; State Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

In a mortgage foreclosure case, the defendants appealed an order from the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, which denied their motion for reargument regarding a prior judgment of foreclosure and sale. The original order was issued on December 2, 1993, and the denial occurred on January 28, 1994. The appeal was dismissed without costs or disbursements, as no appeal is permitted from an order denying reargument. The court classified the defendants' motion as one for reargument instead of renewal, noting that they did not present any new facts that were unavailable at the time of the original motion. Judges Bracken, Rosenblatt, Krausman, and Goldstein concurred with this decision.
