April 8, 2003.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Marylin Diamond, J.), entered February 22, 2002, which, in an action for breach of severance agreements, denied plaintiffs employees' motion for summary judgment and granted defendant employer's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Howard L. Blau, for plaintiffs-appellants.
Karen Honeycutt, for defendant-respondent.
Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Sullivan, Ellerin, Lerner, Marlow, JJ.
The motion court correctly held that defendant's former President, for whom plaintiffs worked as Assistants and whose term of office was expiring, lacked apparent authority to enter into the subject severance agreements (see Arol Dev. Corp. v. Whitman Ransom, 215 A.D.2d 145, 146).
