Hansen v. Vergari

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 16, 1989
154 A.D.2d 513 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

October 16, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Buell, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs.

The Supreme Court properly determined that the plaintiff's 11th and 12th causes of action, which alleged that during the period from May 26, 1986 through June 6, 1986, the defendants had employed undercover agents to spy on and to seduce the plaintiff and placed a wiretap on his telephone, were predicated solely on mere conclusory statements, unsupported by factual allegations (Taylor v State of New York, 36 A.D.2d 878; DiMauro v Metropolitan Suburban Bus Auth., 105 A.D.2d 236).

Indeed, a review of the plaintiff's testimony at his depositions, which were held pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-h, clearly demonstrates that the plaintiff's allegations in the 11th and 12th causes of action of the complaint are based on pure conjecture (cf., Rovello v Orofino Realty Co., 40 N.Y.2d 633, 635-636). Mangano, J.P., Lawrence, Kunzeman and Eiber, JJ., concur.
