Opinion
June 18, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (I. Aronin, J.).
Ordered that the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as abandoned; and it is further,
Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as cross-appealed from, on the law; and it is further,
Ordered that the defendants are awarded one bill of costs.
The Supreme Court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing all four causes of action alleged in the plaintiff's complaint, but granted the plaintiff leave to replead.
On appeal, the plaintiff does not dispute that summary judgment dismissing the complaint was appropriate. However, the defendants correctly contend that it was error for the Supreme Court to grant the plaintiff leave to replead. The plaintiff's argument that the court could properly infer from the record that the plaintiff possessed an unpleaded cause of action for breach of the parties' stipulation of settlement of a prior action, and therefore, grant leave to replead, is without merit. Having granted summary judgment based on the facts before it, the Supreme Court was without authority to grant the plaintiff leave to replead (Buckley Co. v. City of New York, 121 A.D.2d 933, 935). Harwood, J.P., Balletta, Rosenblatt and Miller, JJ., concur.
