Opinion
July 17, 1990
Petitioner is entitled to have its motion considered by the court and a decision rendered thereon in writing (Matter of Grisi v. Shainswit, 119 A.D.2d 418). In that regard, even if petitioner's motion is procedurally defective, as respondent contends, the court is still required to state in writing the reason for its denial; a motion submitted on papers may not be summarily rejected.
