Houlihan-Parnes v. Citibank, N. A.

Opinion of the Court

OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

It being undisputed that no agency or contractual relationship existed between the parties, a cause of action for conspiracy to interfere with that relationship does not lie (Brackett v Griswold, 112 NY 454, 466-467). Hence, defendants were properly granted summary judgment.

Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer concur in memorandum.

Order affirmed.
