303 A.D.2d 331 (N.Y. App. Div. 2003)

Opinion

608

March 27, 2003.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Lowe III, J.), entered May 8, 2002, dismissing the complaint, and bringing up for review an order, same court and Justice, entered April 17, 2002, which denied plaintiffs-appellants' motion for injunctive relief and granted defendants' cross motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, the judgment vacated, defendants' motion with respect to plaintiffs' causes sounding in breach of contract denied and the complaint insofar as it sounds in breach of contract reinstated. Appeal from the order entered April 17, 2002, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as subsumed in the appeal from the ensuing judgment.

Norman Klasfeld, for Plaintiffs-Appellants.

Jerry A. Weiss, for Defendants-Respondents.

Before: Tom, J.P., Mazzarelli, Sullivan, Williams, Gonzalez, JJ.


The affidavits submitted by plaintiff provide sufficient indication that the alleged agreements were reasonably certain as to their material terms to sustain plaintiffs' causes for breach of contract as against defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action (see Leon v. Marinez, 84 N.Y.2d 83). Dismissal of plaintiffs' negligence and/or fraud claim, however, was proper since the complaint and supporting submissions provide no basis to differentiate that claim from plaintiffs' claims for breach of contract (see id.; and see Orix Credit Alliance v. R.E. Hable Co., 256 A.D.2d 114).

Plaintiffs, having made no showing of irreparable harm, were properly denied injunctive relief (see Greater Miami Baseball Club Ltd. v. The Natl. League of Professional Baseball Clubs, 193 A.D.2d 513, lv dismissed in part and denied in part 82 N.Y.2d 800).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
