Shisgal v. Brown

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 22, 2004
3 A.D.3d 434 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

2731N.

Decided January 22, 2004.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Louis York, J.), entered on or about July 25, 2003, which, inter alia, denied plaintiffs' motion for an order of attachment pursuant to CPLR 6201(3), unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Philip Pierce, for Plaintiffs-Appellants.

Anthony L. Tersigni, for Defendants-Respondents.

Before: Nardelli, J.P., Ellerin, Williams, Gonzalez, JJ.


Plaintiffs, having failed sufficiently to demonstrate that defendants had disposed of or secreted assets with intent to defraud their creditors, were not entitled to an order of attachment. Affidavits raising mere suspicions of an intent to defraud are not a sufficient ground for the sought relief ( see Rosenthal v. Rochester Button Co., Inc., 148 A.D.2d 375, 376). The denial of the relief was also proper in light of plaintiffs' failure to show a probability of success on the merits of their claims ( see Societe Generale Alsacienne de Banque, Zurich v. Felmingdon Dev. Corp., 118 A.D.2d 769, 773).

We have considered plaintiffs' remaining contentions and find them unavailing.

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