Synopsis
Court denied petitioner's motion for summary judgment in no-grounds/expiration of tenancy holdover, finding that petitioner failed to authenticate the lease or the proprietary lease (submitting only 2 of 33 pages), failed to adequately describe respondent's interest in the premises as required by RPAPL § 741, and remained bound by a prior ruling raising a question of fact regarding a necessary party as the law of the case.
