The plaintiff restaurant tenant sought a "Yellowstone" injunction and other relief. The defendant landlord moved to reargue a prior motion for, inter alia, partial summary judgment on its affirmative defenses and counterclaims and for an order vacating a Yellowstone injunction which had been granted to the plaintiff, on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to pay rent for April and May 2020 and/or alternatively scheduling the matter for trial.
