Opinion
No. 2007-09075.
September 23, 2008.
In an action, inter alia, for a permanent injunction, the defendant Paradise Point Association, Inc., appeals, as limited by its notice of appeal and brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Weber, J.), dated August 29, 2007, as denied that branch of its cross motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the first and second causes of action insofar as asserted against it.
Wickham, Bressler, Gordon Geasa, P.C., Mattituck, N.Y. (Eric J. Bressler of counsel), for respondents.
Smith, Finkelstein, Lundberg, Isler Yakaboski, LLP, Riverhead, N.Y. (Frank A. Isler of counsel), for defendant Town of Southold.
Before: Mastro, J.P., Skelos, Covello and Leventhal, JJ.
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs to the respondents.
Contrary to the contention of the defendant Paradise Point Association, Inc. (hereinafter the Association), the plaintiffs' first and second causes of action are not barred by the principles of res judicata or collateral estoppel (see generally Altegra Credit Co. v Tin Chu, 29 AD3d 718; Sterngass v Soffer, 27 AD3d 549; see also Fernandez v Cigna Prop. Cos. Ins. Co., 188 AD2d 700; Birnbaum v Birnbaum, 182 AD2d 382).
The Association's remaining contentions are without merit. [See 2007 NY Slip Op 32718(U).]
