Initially, we reject plaintiff's contention that defendant's arguments pertaining to the April 2017 order are not properly before us (seeGMMM Westover LLC v. New York State Elec. & Gas Corp., 155 A.D.3d 1176, 1178 n. 5, 63 N.Y.S.3d 754 [2017] ). Further, while the denial of a reargument motion is not appealable as of right (seeRodriguez v. Jacoby & Meyers, LLP, 126 A.D.3d 1183, 1184, 3 N.Y.S.3d 793 [2015], lv denied 25 N.Y.3d 912, 2015 WL 3952245 [2015] ), because Supreme Court addressed and rejected the merits of defendant's claim, we "deem the court to have granted reargument and adhered to its prior decision" on defendant's summary judgment motion ( id. ; seeWillig v. Danzig, Fishman & Decea, 163 A.D.3d 1304, 1305, 82 N.Y.S.3d 640 [2018] ; Besicorp Group v. Enowitz, 268 A.D.2d 846, 847–848, 702 N.Y.S.2d 421 [2000] ). Thus, the propriety of both orders is reviewable upon this appeal.
