MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum:

Supreme Court properly granted in part plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on the promissory note and guaranty. Contrary to the contention of defendants, they failed to raise a triable issue of fact with respect to the defense of partial payment. Neither of the cancelled checks submitted by defendants in opposition to the motion is referable by its terms to the promissory note and guaranty, and their conclusory assertion of partial payment is insufficient to defeat plaintiff's motion ( see Sacco v. Sutera, 266 A.D.2d 446, 447; Phillips v. Cioffi, 204 A.D.2d 94, 95, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 810; Inter Bus. Mktg. v. Kronengold, 135 A.D.2d 474).
