Butera v. Willow Woods, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 12, 1994
210 A.D.2d 279 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

December 12, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Oshrin, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The plaintiff was injured on the property of the corporate defendant Taunt Willow T. Woods, Inc. (hereinafter Taunt Willow), which, shortly thereafter, conveyed the property, its only asset, to the appellant. The deed bears a handwritten notation stating: "No consideration." The plaintiff subsequently obtained a default judgment against the defunct, assetless Taunt Willow.

We agree with the conclusion of the Supreme Court that the appellant failed to adduce any evidence to create a triable issue of fact. In opposition to the plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment against the appellant, setting aside the conveyance, the appellant's counsel averred that the appellant was the sole creditor of Taunt Willow and that the real property had been conveyed to the appellant to repay him for an unstated amount of undocumented loans. Counsel's affirmation, which was not supported by any evidentiary materials, was patently insufficient to rebut the plaintiff's prima facie showing that the conveyance was made without consideration and, hence, that it was fraudulent (see, Debtor and Creditor Law § 273). Thompson, J.P., Miller, O'Brien, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
