Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Joslin, J.
Present — Denman, P.J., Green, Fallon, Doerr and Boehm, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly granted summary judgment dismissing the fraud cause of action. Plaintiff is not a proper party to allege fraud because no misrepresentation was made to him, nor did he allege that he relied on any misrepresentation. Rather, the complaint alleges that defendant Warren misrepresented to defendant Forest Lawn Cemetery and Mausoleum that plaintiff had consented to the disinterment of his mother's remains (see, Orlin v Torf, 126 A.D.2d 252, 254, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 605).
