601-609 W. 175th St. Corp. v. Munoz

Appellate Term of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 25, 2003
2003 N.Y. Slip Op. 51472 (N.Y. App. Term 2003)

Opinion

570775/02.

Decided November 25, 2003.

Respondent Alberto Castro appeals from a final judgment of the Civil Court, New York County, entered May 6, 2002 after trial (Shlomo S. Hagler, J.) granting possession to petitioner in a holdover summary proceeding.

Final judgment entered May 6, 2002 (Shlomo S. Hagler, J.) affirmed, with $25 costs.

PRESENT: HON. WILLIAM J. DAVIS, J.P., HON. PHYLLIS GANGEL-JACOB, HON. MARTIN SCHOENFELD, Justices.


Respondent failed to establish his succession claim to the apartment premises, particularly given the documentary evidence that he was the tenant of record of another rent stabilized apartment during the period at issue. Nor is respondent entitled to a new trial, since he was afforded ample opportunity as a pro se litigant to present his case (see, Roundtree v. Singh, 143 AD2d 995). Civil Court's denial of respondent's application for an adjournment was an appropriate exercise of discretion in light of the previous adjournments granted in the proceeding (see, Stoves Stones, Ltd. v. Rubens, 237 AD2d 280).

This constitutes the decision and order of the court.
