Majority
— In an action to recover damages for malicious prosecution and abuse of process, the plaintiff appeals from (1) an order and judgment (one paper) of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Jamieson, J.), entered September 19, 2003, which, inter alia, granted that branch of the defendants’ motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and dismissed the complaint, and (2) an order of the same court entered February 6, 2004, which denied the plaintiff’s motion for leave to renew that branch of the defendants’ motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant Leslie B. Marón.
Ordered that the order and judgment and the order are affirmed, with one bill of costs.
Moreover, the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiffs motion for leave to renew since the newspaper article submitted by the plaintiff as new evidence was not admissible (see Young v Fleary, 226 AD2d 454 [1996]) and, in any event, was conclusory and irrelevant.
The plaintiffs remaining contentions either are without merit or academic. H. Miller, J.P., Cozier, S. Miller and Fisher, JJ., concur.
