PLEASE NOTE THE FIRM'S PERMANENT ADDRESS HAS CHANGED TO 326 WALT WHITMAN RD SUITE C, HUNTINGTON STATION NY 11746

Motion to dismiss not dispositive of summary judgment application

If you were injured due to someone else’s careless actions, we understand the challenges you may be facing. As a victim or a surviving family member, you could be dealing with the life-altering consequences of a serious accident.

Alvarado v City of New York, 2017 NY Slip Op 03890 (1st Dept. 2017)

“As plaintiff now concedes, this Court’s decision on a prior appeal, denying defendants’ motion to dismiss (see Alvarado v City of New York, 60 AD3d 427 [1st Dept 2009]), is not dispositive of the instant motion, as “[t]he law of the case doctrine is inapplicable where, as here, a summary judgment motion follows a motion to dismiss'” (191 Chrystie LLC v Ledoux, 82 AD3d 681, 682 [1st Dept 2011]).”

Another lesson that absent a 3212(g) order, a prior order from a prior application has no effect.
