Brown Bark II, L.P. v. Weiss & Mahoney, Inc.
Opinion of the Court
Contrary to the plaintiffs contention, the appeal from the final judgment brings up for review the prior order dated June 9, 2010, which, inter alia, granted its motion for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant Ira T. Weiss (hereinafter the appellant) (see e.g. Lancer Ins. Co. v Marine Motor Sales, Inc., 84 AD3d 1318 [2011]; Futersak v Perl, 84 AD3d 1309 [2011]; Sullivan v Nimmagadda, 63 AD3d 908 [2009]).
On the merits, the plaintiff failed to establish its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law against the appellant, as alleged personal guarantor of the loans. An agreement to “answer for the debt, default or miscarriage of another person” must be in writing and subscribed by the party to be charged (General Obligations Law § 5-701 [a] [2]). The sole copy of a promissory note submitted by the plaintiff and executed by the appellant contained no personal guarantee, and contained an integration clause stating that “[t]he Loan Documents supersede all prior
The parties’ remaining contentions are without merit or need not be addressed in light of our determination. Rivera, J.E, Eng, Roman and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
