Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Apr 27, 1998

249 A.D.2d 530 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

671 N.Y.S.2d 324

Opinion

April 27, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Steinhardt, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The record supports the Supreme Court's determination that Moran Towing and Transportation Co., Inc., which the plaintiff proposed to add to the complaint as an additional defendant, is not united in interest with the original defendants ( see, CPLR 203 [b]; Buran v. Coupal, 87 N.Y.2d 173; Desiderio v. Rubin, 234 A.D.2d 581). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiff's motion.

Mangano, P.J., Miller, Pizzuto and Krausman, JJ., concur.
