| Iesha Punter, Appellant, v New York City Health And Hospitals Corporation et al., Respondents. |
Robert J. Genis, New York (Alexander J. Wulwick of counsel), for appellant.
James E. Johnson, Corporation Counsel, New York (Elina Druker of counsel), for respondents.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (George J. Silver, J.), entered November 8, 2019, which denied plaintiff's motion for leave to renew her motion for certain discovery, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Plaintiff moved for renewal on the ground that there had been a change in the law that would change the prior determination (CPLR 2221 [e] [2]; see e.g. Gager v White, 53 NY2d 475 [1981], cert denied 454 US 1086 [1981]). However, the reversal of a Kings County trial order mentioned in the order on appeal did not effect a change in the law; the Second Department simply applied long settled principles of discovery (see Vargas v Lee, 170 AD3d 1073 [2d Dept 2019], revg 2015 NY Slip Op 31048[U] [Sup Ct, Kings County 2015]).
