Opinion
570870/03
Decided June 2, 2005.
Plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court, New York County, entered March 6, 2003 (Eileen N. Nadelson, J.) which denied his motion, inter alia, to compel defendants to comply with his discovery demands and granted defendants' cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Order entered March 6, 2003 (Eileen N. Nadelson, J.) affirmed, without costs, for the reasons stated in the decision of Eileen N. Nadelson, J. at Civil Court.
Before: PRESENT: HON. LUCINDO SUAREZ, P.J., HON. WILLIAM P. McCOOE, HON. PHYLLIS GANGEL-JACOB, Justices.
The court properly concluded that the prior, unappealed judicial determination setting the amount of the plaintiff-attorney's quantum meruit recovery of legal fees "conclusively determined" the issue and is binding upon plaintiff under familiar principles of res judicata.
This constitutes the decision and order of the court.
