Synopsis
Court denied plaintiff-landlord's motion to dismiss defendant-tenant's counterclaim under New York's Anti-SLAPP Law (Civil Rights Law §§ 70-a and 76-a) in this civil action for damages. Court granted defendant-tenant's motion to stay the civil damages action under CPLR 2201 pending resolution of a parallel nuisance holdover proceeding between the same parties, finding that the holdover determination would likely dispose of or substantially limit the issues in the damages action.
