#### Gina M. Chiappone, Individually and as Natural Guardian and Guardian of the Property of Brittney A. Chiappone and Others, Appellant, v William Penn Life Insurance Company of New York, Respondent, et al., Defendant.

[946 NYS2d 787]

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Niagara County (Richard C. Kloch, Sr., A.J.), entered December 16, 2010. The order denied the motion of plaintiff for leave to reargue and renew.

It is hereby ordered that said appeal from the order insofar as it denied leave to reargue is unanimously dismissed and the order is otherwise affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: Plaintiff appeals from an order that denied her motion for leave to reargue and renew her prior motion for summary judgment on the complaint and her opposition to the cross motion of William Penn Life Insurance Company of New York (defendant) for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The appeal from the order insofar as it denied that branch of plaintiffs motion seeking leave to reargue must be dismissed because no appeal lies from an order denying leave to reargue *(see Hill v Milan,*89 AD3d 1458 [2011]). The appeal from the order insofar as it denied that branch of plaintiffs motion seeking leave to renew, however, is properly before us *(see Kirchmeyer v Subramanian,*167 AD2d 851 [1990]).

We conclude that Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in denying plaintiffs motion for leave to renew. Plaintiff failed to establish that the purported new evidence was not in existence or not available at the time of the prior motion and cross motion *(see*CPLR 2221 [e] [2]; *Kirby v Suburban Elec. Engrs.*
      *1628
      *Contrs., Inc.,*83 AD3d 1380, 1381 [2011], *lv dismissed*17 NY3d 783 [2011]; *Patel v Exxon Corp.,*11 AD3d 916, 917 [2004]). Plaintiff further failed to set forth a “reasonable justification for the failure to present such facts on the prior motion [and cross motion]” (CPLR 2221 [e] [3]; *see Patel,*11 AD3d at 917; *Robinson v Consolidated Rail Corp.,*8 AD3d 1080 [2004]). Even assuming, arguendo, that plaintiff offered new facts in support of her motion for leave to renew, we conclude that those “new facts not offered on the prior motion [and cross motion] . . . would [not] change the prior determination” (CPLR 2221 [e] [2]; *see Garcea v Battista,*53 AD3d 1068, 1070 [2008]; *Cole v North Am. Adm’rs, Inc.,*11 AD3d 974, 975 [2004]).

To the extent that plaintiff advances contentions relating to the prior order denying her motion for summary judgment and granting defendant’s cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, we note that plaintiffs appeal from that order was deemed abandoned and dismissed pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1000.12 (b) for failure to perfect it. “[A] prior dismissal for want of prosecution acts as a bar to a subsequent appeal as to all questions that were presented on the earlier appeal” *(Bray v Cox,*38 NY2d 350, 353 [1976]; *see Alfieri v Empire Beef Co., Inc.,*41 AD3d 1313 [2007]), and we decline to exercise our discretion to review the merits of those contentions *(see Williams v Williams,*52 AD3d 1271 [2008]; *Alfieri,*41 AD3d 1313; *see generally Faricelli v TSS*Seedman’s, 94 NY2d 772, 774 [1999]; *Rubeo v National Grange Mut. Ins. Co.,*93 NY2d 750, 756 [1999]). Present — Scudder, P.J., Smith, Fahey, Lindley and Martoche, JJ.
