Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff commenced this action against the defendant, Cushman Wakefield, Inc. (hereinafter C W), to recover money allegedly due and owing for janitorial services. The Supreme Court granted a motion by C W for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. We affirm.

In support of its motion, C W demonstrated its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by proffering evidence that its relationship with the plaintiff was that of an agent acting on behalf of a disclosed principal (the New York Dormitory Authority), and that there was no intention that it would assume any individual liability to the plaintiff for the services rendered (see Savoy Record Co. v. Cardinal Export Corp., 15 N.Y.2d 1; Mencher v. Weiss, 306 N.Y. 1; Peckam Rd. Corp. v. Town of Putnam Val., 218 A.D.2d 789). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact.

RITTER, J.P., SMITH, GOLDSTEIN and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
