Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Gerald Lebovits, J.), entered August 14, 2019, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, dismissed plaintiff Wylmina Hettinga's claims without prejudice to her filing a new complaint in her individual capacity, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Hettinga has set forth no persuasive basis to disturb the motion court's dismissal of her claims without prejudice where the complaint intermingled plaintiffs' direct and derivative claims into single causes of action ( Abrams v. Donati, 66 N.Y.2d 951, 953, 498 N.Y.S.2d 782, 489 N.E.2d 751 [1985] ; Billig v. Schwartz, 190 A.D.3d 547, 548, 136 N.Y.S.3d 715 [1st Dept. 2021] ; Barbour v. Knecht, 296 A.D.2d 218, 227–228, 743 N.Y.S.2d 483 [1st Dept. 2002] ).
