ADAMOWICZ v. ROBBINS (1999)

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for fraud, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by her brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (McCarty, J.), dated June 8, 1998, as granted the motion of the defendant Annabelle Robbins to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against her pursuant to, inter alia, CPLR 3211(a)(7).

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly granted the motion to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant Annabelle Robbins.   The plaintiff had prior notice of the existence of termite damage, and specific contract provisions prevented reliance on any alleged fraudulent misrepresentation made by Robbins prior to the sale concerning either the existence or extent of termite infestation or damage (see, Long v. Fitzgerald, 240 A.D.2d 971, 972, 659 N.Y.S.2d 544;  Bando v. Achenbaum, 234 A.D.2d 242, 651 N.Y.S.2d 74;  Barnes v. Gould, 83 A.D.2d 900, 442 N.Y.S.2d 150, affd. 55 N.Y.2d 943, 449 N.Y.S.2d 192, 434 N.E.2d 261;  Couch v. Schmidt, 204 A.D.2d 951, 612 N.Y.S.2d 511).

MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
