1. “We enter th[is] order [returning the case to the trial court] fully cognizant of the validity of the defendants contentions that Reznik was largely motivated in commencing this action by his personal animus towards the defendants, an irrelevant sentiment improperly reiterated throughout his filings in this case. It is also clear that Reznik appears to find expression for that sentiment in any procedural maneuver, however frivolous, that will increase the defendants’ attorney’s fees and litigation costs and thus redound to their financial detriment. Even beyond those considerations, the defendants make a compelling request for some relief from Reznik’s harassment.”
