17 A.D.3d 170 (N.Y. App. Div. 2005)

Opinion

5836.

April 12, 2005.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Judith J. Gische, J.), entered November 26, 2003, which granted defendant's motion pursuant to CPLR 3211 to dismiss the complaint, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Michael Melnitzky, appellant pro se.

Certilman Balin Adler Hyman, LLP, East Meadow (Thomas J. McNamara of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Tom, J.P., Marlow, Sullivan, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.


Plaintiff challenges defendant's procedure in conducting inventory of several safe deposit boxes used by him to store what was previously determined to be marital property ( Melnitzky v. Melnitzky, 284 AD2d 240). As we stated in Melnitzky v. LoPreto ( 8 AD3d 4) and most recently in Melnitzky v. Besobrasow ( 14 AD3d 395), any claims that were or could have been addressed in the matrimonial action regarding the inventory of the safe deposit boxes are barred, even if based on different theories or sought under a different remedy. Moreover, the claims for conversion and prima facie tort are time-barred (CPLR 214, [4]).
