Pollack Solomon Duffy LLP, New York (Barry S. Pollack of counsel), for respondent.

We agree with the motion court that, rather than demonstrating that plaintiff Resurgence Asset Management engaged in sanctionable conduct, such as a pattern of delay or failure to comply with discovery orders, defendant has raised credibility issues, the determination of which is for a factfinder.
