When reviewing whether a not-for-profit corporation complied with its own bylaws and procedures in expelling a member, however, a plaintiff must bring her claims in a special proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, not by plenary action. (Melucci v Sackman, 37 Misc 3d 1212[A] [Sup Ct, Kings County 2012] [plaintiff seeking reinstatement to membership and board affiliation in not-for-profit corporation must raise claims in special proceeding, not plenary action]; see e.g. Stadtmiller v New York State Soc'y of Physician Assistants, 294 AD2d 228 [1st Dept 2002] [challenging club membership suspension in article 78 proceeding]; Clark v E. Tennis Umpires Ass'n, 118 AD2d 853 [2d Dept 1986] [article 78 proceeding to review whether not-for-profit corporation conducted disciplinary hearing in accord with its constitution]; Anderson v Bd. of Directors of Powelton Club, 183 Misc 2d 200 [Sup Ct, Orange County 1999] [same]). As plaintiff's claims for breach of contract and for declaratory judgments are premised on Club's alleged failure to comply with its bylaws in conducting the hearing and terminating her membership, plaintiff was required to raise such claims in a CPLR article 78 proceeding, not this plenary action.
