Hunter v. Bd. of Dir. of Grymes Hill Owners

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 9, 1994
204 A.D.2d 395 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

May 9, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Cusick, J.).


Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion for a preliminary injunction is denied, the cross motion for summary judgment is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.

Contrary to the Supreme Court, we find that there were no issues of fact precluding summary judgment. The defendant Board of Directors of Grymes Hill Owners Corp. set forth sufficient facts to show that it acted within the scope of its authority when it denied the plaintiff's subtenancy application. The plaintiff's conclusory allegation that her application was denied because of her race was not sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact (see, Joint Queensview Hous. Enter. v. Balogh, 174 A.D.2d 605). As a result, we will not substitute our judgment for that of the Board (see, Matter of Levandusky v. One Fifth Ave. Apt. Corp., 75 N.Y.2d 530).

In light of our determination granting the defendants' cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, we need not reach the defendants' remaining contentions. Balletta, J.P., Copertino, Hart and Krausman, JJ., concur.
