Synopsis
After trial on two jointly-heard "no grounds" holdover proceedings, the court dismissed with prejudice finding petitioner failed to prove respondents were squatters, sublessees, or assignees. Petitioner moves under CPLR 5019(a) to amend the judgment to omit "with prejudice." Court denies the motion: it cannot amend a judgment — even to correct its own assumed intention — if doing so would affect a substantial right of a party.
