In an action , inter alia , to foreclose a mechanic 's lien , recover in quantum meruit for services rendered , and recover damages for breach of contract , the plaintiff appeals , as limited by its brief , from so much of an order of the Supreme Court , Queens County ( Weiss , J. ) , dated November 10 , 2005 , as denied its motion , denominated as one for leave to renew its prior motion to vacate its default in opposing the motion of the defendant Expert Electric , Inc ., for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it , but which , in actuality , was for leave to reargue that motion . His claim is that the widespread notion that " you ca n't argue over values " is based on a confused and historically contingent misapprehension that one can cleanly separate " facts " , which are value-neutral representations of reality , from " values " , which are basically arbitrary personal preferences or God-given unarguable axioms , depending on your point of view . In an action to recover damages for breach of contract , the defendant appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court , Orange County ( Horowitz , J. ) , dated March 24 , 2005 , as denied its motion to dismiss the complaint and granted that branch of the plaintiff 's cross motion which was pursuant to Education Law 3813 ( 2-a ) for leave to serve a late notice of claim , and the plaintiff cross-appeals , as limited by its brief , from so much of the same order as denied that branch of its cross motion which was for leave to enter a judgment against the defendant upon its default in appearing and answering . In a claim to recover damages for negligence , the defendant appeals , as limited by its brief , from so much of an order of the Court of Claims ( Lack , J. ) , dated March 23 , 2005 , as granted that branch of the claimants ' motion which was for summary judgment on the issue of liability . A handsome thing she was , too slender in her brief tunic and kirtle of deerskin , straight and proud and shapely . This course takes as its point of departure Twain 's infamous and puzzling comment . In an action to recover damages for personal injuries , the defendant appeals , as limited by its brief , from so much of an order of the Supreme Court , Westchester County ( Nastasi , J. ) , entered March 29 , 2006 , as granted that branch of the plaintiff 's motion which was for leave to renew his prior motion for leave to amend a notice of claim , which had been denied in an order of the same court entered December 15 , 2005 , and upon renewal , in effect , vacated the prior determination , granted the motion for leave to amend , deemed the proposed amended notice of claim served as of the date of entry of the order dated March 29 , 2006 , and , in effect , denied , as academic , that branch of the plaintiff 's motion which was for leave to serve a late notice of claim and to restore the action . The Hewetts became his closest friends ; in their brief prosperity he rejoiced with them , in their hardships he gave them all the assistance to which John 's pride would consent ; his name was never spoken among them but with warmth and gratitude .
