8 A.D.3d 641 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

2003-03902.

Decided June 28, 2004.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Tanenbaum, J.), dated April 3, 2003, which, among other things, granted the motion of the defendants Mark R. Graham and Graham Family 2000, LLC, pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(1) and (7) to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against them, and granted the separate motion of the defendant Bank of America, N.A., for the same relief.

Pelletreau Pelletreau, LLP, Patchogue, N.Y. (John J. Hart and Brian T. Egan of counsel), for appellant.

Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, P.C., Uniondale, N.Y. (Mark S. Mulholland and Megan F. Carroll of counsel) and Willkie, Farr Gallagher, New York, N.Y. (Steven H. Reisberg of counsel), for respondents Mark R. Graham and Graham Family 2000, LLC.

Lamb Barnosky, LLP, Melville, N.Y. (Joel M. Markowitz of counsel), for respondent Bank of America, N.A.

Before: HOWARD MILLER, J.P., GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, BARRY A. COZIER, WILLIAM F. MASTRO, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.

Dismissal pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7) is appropriate where the facts alleged, even if accepted as true, establish conclusively that the plaintiff has no cause of action ( see Rovello v. Orofino Realty Co., 40 N.Y.2d 633; SRW Assocs. v. Bellport Beach Prop. Owners, 129 A.D.2d 328).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.

H. MILLER, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, COZIER and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
