Elyass ESHAGHIAN, et al., Plaintiffs–Respondents, v. Asher ROSHANZAMIR, Defendant–Appellant.
Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP, New York (Herman Cahn of counsel), for appellant. Wilk Auslander LLP, New York (Stuart M. Riback of counsel), for respondents.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles E. Ramos, J.), entered November 22, 2013, which granted plaintiffs' motion to renew defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint, and, upon renewal, denied defendant's motion, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The Agreement of Sale and Purchase between defendant LLC and nonparty 587 Fifth JV, LLC, constitutes a new fact within the meaning of CPLR 2221(e)(2). Defendants' claim that plaintiff knew of or approved the contract is without support in the record, which shows that plaintiff learned of the contract only when 587 Fifth commenced an action to enforce it, and received the full contract only when the contract was produced in connection with that action.
The court correctly found that the terms of the contract would change its prior determination ( see id.).
We have considered defendants' remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
