Opinion
8242.
April 6, 2006.
Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alan J. Saks, J.), entered March 8, 2004, which granted defendants' motion for renewal and dismissed this legal malpractice action, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
Sara Kinberg, appellant pro se.
Ira E. Garr, New York, respondent pro se and for Ira E. Garr, P.C., respondent.
Before: Sullivan, J.P., Nardelli, Williams, Sweeny and McGuire, JJ.
Plaintiff's adverse determination in defendants' prior action to recover fees for the rendering of professional services precludes a finding of malpractice with regard to the same services ( see Ahearn v. Arvan, 2 AD3d 469; Chisholm-Ryder Co. v. Sommer Sommer, 78 AD2d 143), as such determination "implicitly finds that there was no malpractice" ( Koppelman v. Liddle, O'Connor, Finkelstein Robinson, 246 AD2d 365, 366).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them without merit.
