Summer v. Edward R. Pressman Prod., Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 23, 1993
190 A.D.2d 611 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

February 23, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Carol E. Huff, J.).


Paragraph 1 of the letter agreement on which plaintiff bases his fourth cause of action plainly provides that defendant is under no obligation to engage plaintiff as director of the sequel to the movie "Conan the Barbarian" if, as in fact happened, a third party with the right to approve the choice of director rejected plaintiff as the director. Nor can it be said that defendant violated an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by failing to submit plaintiff's resume or arrange an interview with the third party (see, Wood v Laughlin, 103 A.D.2d 881), and plaintiff's otherwise vague allegations of wrongdoing and bad faith do not justify further disclosure pursuant to CPLR 3212 (f) (see, Pitter Co. v Segal, 173 A.D.2d 159, 160, mod on other grounds 174 A.D.2d 439). Furthermore, there was no need to disqualify defendant's attorneys (see, S S Hotel Ventures Ltd. Partnership v 777 S.H. Corp., 69 N.Y.2d 437).
