Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles E. Ramos, J.), entered December 21, 2010, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied plaintiffs' motion to renew defendant-respondent's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' first cause of action, for breach of contract, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
The IAS court properly determined that defendant's counterclaims are not new evidence that would alter its prior determination (CPLR 2221[e][2] ). Indeed, the counterclaims restate allegations that were before the court on the prior motion and do not constitute an admission, or evidence, that plaintiffs are third-party beneficiaries of the reseller agreement ( see 2470 Cadillac Resources, Inc. v. DHL Express (USA), Inc., 84 A.D.3d 697, 698, 923 N.Y.S.2d 530 [2011] ).
