Alan KUDISCH, etc., et al., appellants, v. GRUMPY JACK'S, INC., respondent.

WILLIAM F. MASTRO

The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the plaintiffs' cross motion for leave to amend the complaint to assert a cause of action alleging gross negligence and to demand punitive damages, as the proposed cause of action and demand for relief were patently devoid of merit ( see Reuter v. Flobo Enters., 120 A.D.2d 722, 723;see also generally Aurora Loan Servs ., LLC v. Dimura, 104 AD3d 796;Ramos v. Baker, 91 AD3d 930, 932).
