Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Shirley Werner Kornreich, J.), entered February 18, 2017, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted defendants' motion to dismiss the breach of contract claim regarding the Full Call Right of the Limited Liability Company Agreement, and denied plaintiff estate's cross motion for partial summary judgment regarding the Full Call Right, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The motion court properly determined that the estate could not exercise the decedent's Full Call Right, which contractual right terminated upon his death. We have considered and rejected the estate's remaining arguments, most of which are generally similar to arguments this Court rejected on a prior appeal in this case (see 157 A.D.3d 190, 67 N.Y.S.3d 589 [1st Dept. 2017]lv dismissed 31 N.Y.3d 1111, 80 N.Y.S.3d 213, 105 N.E.3d 352 [2018] ).
