Longariello v. City of New York

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 22, 1996
229 A.D.2d 519 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

July 22, 1996

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


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

To state a cause of action to recover damages for defamation a plaintiff must allege, inter alia, that the defendant published a defamatory statement to a third party ( see, McGill v. Parker, 179 A.D.2d 98, 106; Moye v. Gary, 595 F. Supp. 738, 740). Since the plaintiff has failed to make such an allegation, the Supreme Court properly dismissed the defamation claims.

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Ritter, Pizzuto and Altman, JJ., concur.
