Spencer v. Hylton-Spencer

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 9, 1998
247 A.D.2d 461 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

February 9, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Golar, J.).


Ordered that the order is modified by deleting therefrom the provision which denied that branch of the appellants' motion which was for renewal of their motion for summary judgment, and substituting therefor a provision granting renewal and upon renewal, adhering to the original determination; as so modified, the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs to the respondent.

The court erred in denying that branch of the appellants' motion which was for renewal of their motion for summary judgment dismissing the third-party complaint. The appellants proffered a bank appraisal of the subject property that was unavailable at the time of the original motion because it could not be found by the mortgagee who possessed it ( see, Schumann v. City of New York, 242 A.D.2d 616; Matter of Bernstein v. Mitgang, 242 A.D.2d 328; 12 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N.Y. Civ Prac ¶ 5701.24). However, even when the appraisal is considered, the appellants are not entitled to summary judgment. There are issues of fact as to whether the conveyance was made with the intent to hinder or delay the respondent's effort to enforce her interest in the subject property ( see, CPLR 3212 [b], Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, 562).

The appellants' remaining contentions are without merit.

Miller, J.P., Sullivan, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
