NYSCEF DOC. NO. 6 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/30/2018
4. On or about September 10, 2008, an Assignment of Judgment was filed with the
County Clerk of New York County assigning this judgment from HSBC Bank USA, National
Association to CadleRock Joint Venture, L.P., the Plaintiff herein.
5. CPLR Section 5014 provides that a party may bring an action for a new 20 year
Judgment after ten years has elapsed since the first docketing of the Judgment. This Motion is
being made within a year prior to the expiration of ten years since the first docketing of the
judgment on July 11, 2008. Where, as in this case, ten years from the original docketing will
lapse in July 2018, Plaintiff can sue on the Judgment afresh so as to get a new 20 year Judgment.
See First National Bank of Long Island v. Brooks, 1 Misc. 3d 905A, 781 N.Y.S. 2d 624 (District
Ct. Nassau County 2003)("After expiration of the ten year period, a Plaintiff is entitled to obtain
a new 20 year Judgment and a new ten year lien"); Quarant v. Ferrara, 111 Misc. 2d 1042, 445
N.Y.S.2d 885 (Sup.Ct. Queens Co., 1981)("After ten years have elapsed, a Judgment Creditor
can sue afresh to obtain a new Judgment.")
6. Pursuant to CPLR Section 5014(1), Plaintiff is entitled to the issuance of a new
Judgment against Defendant.
7. Pursuant to the Affidavit of Denise Harkless, Account Officer for the Plaintiff,
as of May 24, 2018, the Defendant is duly indebted to Plaintiff in the sum of $465,801.22, plus
statutory interest at the rate of 9 percent per annum from July 11, 2008 in the amount of
$415,028.89, for a total sum of $880,830.11.
8. Accordingly, a new Judgment should be entered by this Court in the said principal
sum plus interest from the original entry date as set forth above, together with the costs and
disbursements of this action.
