Christopher Selletti, Respondent, v Thomas F. Liotti,Appellant.

—[*1]Thomas F. Liotti, Garden City, N.Y., appellant pro se.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for legal malpractice, the defendant appeals froman order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Satterfield, J.), entered November 2, 2006,which denied his motion, inter alia, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

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 WhitePlains, 6 AD3d 609 [2004]; Capuano v Platzner Intl.
