Opinion
September 29, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Lama, J.).
Order reversed, on the law, with costs, motion granted, and complaint dismissed.
The plaintiffs rely upon a memorandum of an alleged contract to purchase property owned by the defendant. The memorandum, executed by the defendant, neither identified the purchaser nor sufficiently described the property in question. To satisfy the Statute of Frauds, the memorandum "must designate the parties, identify and describe the subject matter and state all the essential and material terms of the agreement" (Read v Henzel, 67 A.D.2d 186, 188; (Villano v G C Homes, 46 A.D.2d 907, appeal dismissed 36 N.Y.2d 918, lv dismissed 40 N.Y.2d 959). The instant document fails to do so. Mollen, P.J., Lazer, Mangano and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
