The appeal from such order is unanimously dismissed, without costs, as subsumed within the appeal from such judgment. Order, same court and Justice, entered June 9, 1995, in a related action by plaintiff to enforce security agreements covering the obligations at issue in the first action, granting plaintiffs motion for summary judgment, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Before: Rosenberger, J. P., Wallach, Kupferman, Nardelli and Mazzarelli, JJ.


The IAS Court properly rejected parol evidence offered to show that the promissory notes and security agreements in issue were fraudulent shams to defraud the IRS, entered into to make what was actually a gift, or at most a conditional loan, look like an unconditional promise to pay ( see, Phillips v Cioffi., 204 AD2d 94, 95, lv denied 85 NY2d 810). In any event, the parol evidence aside, defendants fail to set forth the details of the alleged fraud with the requisite specificity ( see, Banner Indus. v Key B.H. Assocs., 170 AD2d 246).
