Mark F. Palomino, Division of Housing and Community Renewal, New York (Jeffrey G. Kelly of counsel), for respondents.

This action is barred by the doctrine of res judicata. Plaintiff raised matters before the motion court that could have been raised, and in fact were actually raised, in the extensive prior proceedings in which plaintiff challenged the very same
orders that it challenges here (see Xiao Yang Chen v Fischer, 6 NY3d 94, 100 [2005]; Marinelli Assoc. v Helmsley-Noyes Co., 265 AD2d 1, 5 [1st Dept 2000]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
