____________________________
Submitted September 16, 2021 – Decided September 30, 2021
Before Judges Gooden Brown and Gummer.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law
Division, Essex County, Docket No. L-3655-19.
Craig Watts, appellant pro se.
Courtney M. Gaccione, Essex County Counsel,
attorney for respondent Essex County Sheriff's Office
(Alan Ruddy, Assistant County Counsel, on the brief).
PER CURIAM
In this latest challenge by plaintiff of defendant Essex County Sheriff's
Office's post-foreclosure sale of property formerly owned by plaintiff to
defendant 64 Llewellyn, LLC, plaintiff appeals orders granting defendants'
motions to dismiss the complaint, denying plaintiff's cross-motion for summary
judgment, and denying plaintiff's motion for reconsideration. We affirm the
orders granting defendants' motions to dismiss and denying plaintiff's summary-
judgment motion substantially for the reasons set forth in Judge Stephen L.
Petrillo's comprehensive, written decision. We affirm the order denying
plaintiff's motion for reconsideration because we see no abuse of discretion in
that decision. See Branch v. Cream-O-Land Dairy, 244 N.J. 567, 582 (2021).
Affirmed.
