Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Boehm, J.
Present — Denman, P.J., Pine, Balio, Lawton and Doerr, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: We reject plaintiffs' contention that a cause of action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 may be maintained against defendant Robert Abrams on the ground that Abrams improperly delegated authority to defendant Ronald Goldstock (see, Al-Jundi v. Estate of Rockefeller, 885 F.2d 1060, 1065-1067). It is undisputed that Abrams had no personal involvement in the termination of plaintiff John Mansour's employment. In the absence of such involvement, plaintiffs have no cause of action against Abrams under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (see, Giacalone v. Abrams, 850 F.2d 79, 86, n 1; see also, Al-Jundi v. Estate of Rockefeller, supra, at 1065-1067; see generally, Canton v. Harris, 489 U.S. 378, 385; Monell v. New York City Dept. of Social Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 694-695).
