PAMELA RENFRO AND RENFRO HERRALD HOSPITALITY LLC PLAINTIFFS RESPONDENTS v. ANGELA HERRALD DAVID STEITZ AND HERRALD STEITZ PROPERTIES LLC DEFENDANTS APPELLANTS (2024)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously modified on the law by granting that part of defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment on their tenth counterclaim to the extent it seeks a declaration that plaintiffs do not have an interest in the real property owned by defendant Herrald-Steitz Properties, LLC and granting judgment in favor of defendants as follows:

It is ADJUDGED and DECLARED that plaintiffs do not have an interest in the real property owned by defendant Herrald-Steitz Properties, LLC,

and as modified the order is affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: In this action alleging, inter alia, that defendants breached a purported joint venture agreement between the parties as well as their fiduciary duties as joint venturers, defendants appeal from an order that denied their motion for, inter alia, partial summary judgment seeking, inter alia, a declaration on their tenth counterclaim that plaintiffs have no interest in defendant Herrald-Steitz Properties, LLC (Properties LLC) or real property owned by Properties LLC. We modify the order by granting that part of defendants’ motion with respect to their tenth counterclaim solely to the extent of declaring that plaintiffs do not have an interest in the real property owned by Properties LLC (see Renfro v Herrald, 206 AD3d 1573, 1574 [4th Dept 2022]). We otherwise affirm the order for reasons stated in the decision at Supreme Court.
