Hooker v. Wooten

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 31, 1997
237 A.D.2d 572 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

March 31, 1997.

In an action, inter alia, for specific performance to convey an interest in certain real property, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (LeVine, J.), which, after a nonjury trial, dismissed the complaint.

Before: Rosenblatt, J. P., Thompson, Altman and Luciano, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Plaintiff's failure to make monthly installment payments to the defendant pursuant to their agreement constituted a material breach of the agreement. Therefore, the plaintiff is not entitled to an award of specific performance ( see, Grace v Nappa, 46 NY2d 560, 567).
