FANEK v. DUTCHESS PROPERTIES LLC (2006)

In an action, inter alia, to compel specific performance of an option to purchase real property, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Pagones, J.), dated June 13, 2005, which granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff commenced this action to compel specific performance of a purchase option in a lease.   However, in support of its motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, the defendant demonstrated, prima facie, both that the lease had been terminated and that the purchase option had not been exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the lease (see Raanan v. Tom's Triangle, 303 A.D.2d 668, 758 N.Y.S.2d 343;  O'Rourke v. Carlton, 286 A.D.2d 427, 730 N.Y.S.2d 234).   In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact (see Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320, 508 N.Y.S.2d 923, 501 N.E.2d 572).   Thus, the motion was properly granted.
