Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Debra James, J.), entered October 20, 2021, which granted defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(5), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court correctly determined that plaintiff's breach of contract claim was time-barred. The allegations in the complaint, even accepted as true and viewed in the light most favorable to plaintiff, established that the claim accrued at the latest in 2010 (see Hahn Automotive Warehouse, Inc. v. American Zurich Ins. Co., 18 N.Y.3d 765, 770–771, 944 N.Y.S.2d 742, 967 N.E.2d 1187 [2012] ). Because this action was brought more than six years later, it was untimely ( CPLR 213[2] ).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
