Argued September 3, 2002.
October 7, 2002.
In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for injurious falsehood, the plaintiff appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Peter C. Patsalos, J.), dated October 26, 2001, which granted the defendant's motion pursuant to 3211(a)(7) to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action, and (2) an order of the same court, dated December 20, 2001, which denied the plaintiff's motion for leave to renew.
James J. Herkenham, Slate Hill, N.Y., for appellant.
Drew, Davidoff Edwards Law Offices, LLP, Monticello, N.Y. (Michael Davidoff of counsel), for respondent.
Before: MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, J.P., GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, HOWARD MILLER, REINALDO E. RIVERA, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the orders are affirmed, with one bill of costs to the defendant.
Contrary to the plaintiff's contentions, the Supreme Court properly dismissed the complaint (see NBT Bancorp v. Fleet/Norstar Fin. Group, 87 N.Y.2d 614; Freihofer v. Hearst Corp., 65 N.Y.2d 135; Curiano v. Suozzi, 63 N.Y.2d 113; Meyer v. Guinta, 262 A.D.2d 463, 464; CPLR 3016[a]).
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
ALTMAN, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, H. MILLER and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
