Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendant‘s motion violated the rule against ‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‍successive motions for summary judgment (see Williams v City of White Plains, 6 AD3d 609 [2004]; Capuano v Platzner Intl.

We find no basis to award sanctions at this time.
