Matter of Patterson v City of New York
Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 06068
Holding The Supreme Court properly denied the petitioner’s motion to renew because he failed to present new evidence that would alter the prior dismissal of his article 78 petition. A finding by another court that the petitioner resigned rather than was terminated does not constitute new evidence sufficient to change the outcome of the prior decisions.
The court’s words
he did not present any new evidence that would change the prior determination to dismiss the article 78 petition
