Opinion
November 2, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Murphy, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
There is nothing in the instant motion that could not have been raised in the plaintiff's previous motion for summary judgment. It is well established that "`[m]ultiple summary judgment motions in the same action should be discouraged in the absence of a showing of newly discovered evidence or other sufficient cause'" (Giganti v. Town of Hempstead, 186 A.D.2d 627, 628; La Freniere v. Capital Dist. Transp. Auth., 105 A.D.2d 517, 518; see also, Dillon v. Dean, 170 A.D.2d 574). Thus, the plaintiff's latest motion for summary judgment was properly denied.
