303 A.D.2d 275 (N.Y. App. Div. 2003)

Opinion

548

March 20, 2003.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Jane Solomon, J.), entered March 19, 2002, which granted defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint and denied plaintiff's cross motion for partial summary judgment, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Jeffrey K. Levine, for plaintiff-appellant.

Mitchell S. Cohen, for defendant-respondent.

Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Sullivan, Ellerin, Friedman, Gonzalez, JJ.


The complaint was properly dismissed. Plaintiff's cause for breach of warranty was properly dismissed since plaintiff failed to identify any express warranty that would cover her damaged photographs and did not allege a relationship of privity such as might support a claim based on an implied warranty (see Gordon v. Ford Motor Co., 239 A.D.2d 156). Her negligence claim was properly dismissed because, inter alia, defendant camera manufacturer satisfied any duty it may have had to avert the complained-of harm by including in its user manual warnings to the effect that packing material should be removed before the camera's use.

We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
