December 11, 2001.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward Lehner, J.), entered on or about April 5, 2000, which granted defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint as time-barred, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Stuart E. Abrams, for plaintiffs-appellants.
James S. Morris, for defendants-respondents.
Before: Rosenberger, J.P., Williams, Tom, Mazzarelli, Ellerin, JJ.
Inasmuch as the claims for legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty comprising plaintiffs' complaint accrued in 1991, when the alleged malpractice and breach, i.e., the failure to record a mortgage after a closing, occurred (see, Shumsky v. Eisenstein, 96 N.Y.2d 164, 166; Glamm v. Allen, 57 N.Y.2d 87, 95), the complaint, filed in 1999, is time-barred (see, CPLR 214(6); see also, Kahn v. Hart, 270 A.D.2d 231).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
