Crossland Savings v. Manas

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 25, 1989
153 A.D.2d 922 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

September 25, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hurowitz, J.).


Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for further proceedings, including the determination of attorneys' fees.

We conclude that the Supreme Court erred in denying the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment pursuant to CPLR 3213 based on a promissory note executed by the defendants and upon which the defendants are in default. The defendants' papers submitted in opposition to the plaintiff's motion merely contain unsubstantiated allegations of representations made by the plaintiff's representatives at unspecified dates and by unnamed persons. These conclusory and vague allegations are clearly insufficient to defeat the motion (see, Faustini v. Darth Provisions Co., 131 A.D.2d 809). Upon remittal, the Supreme Court shall determine the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees to be awarded pursuant to the provision in the note awarding such fees to the plaintiff in a successful action on the debt. Mollen, P.J., Brown, Lawrence and Spatt, JJ., concur.
