Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York March 11, 2002 (Bloom v. Primus Automotive Financial Services, Inc.)

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for negligence and defamation, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Burke, J.), dated May 14, 2001, as denied that branch of his motion which was for leave to renew his prior motion to restore the action to the trial calendar.
