ELMO MFG CORP v. AMERICAN INNOVATIONS INC (2007)

In an action, inter alia, to recover payment for goods sold and delivered, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by its brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Nelson, J.), dated December 7, 2006, as denied those branches of its motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint.

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

 Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, the Supreme Court properly denied that branch of its motion which was for summary judgment on the first cause of action to recover payment for goods sold and delivered.  After the plaintiff made out a prima facie case for judgment as a matter of law, the affidavits submitted by the defendant in opposition to the motion, which contained evidence explaining and supplementing the written documents of the parties and supporting the defendant's counterclaims (see UCC 2–202[b] ), raised triable issues of fact regarding the terms of the parties' agreement and the plaintiff's alleged breach thereof, thus warranting the denial of summary judgment on the first cause of action (see Created Gemstones v. Union Carbide Corp., 47 N.Y.2d 250, 255–256, 417 N.Y.S.2d 905, 391 N.E.2d 987;  Buffalo Newspress Inc. v. Coleman Communications Corp., 8 A.D.3d 969, 778 N.Y.S.2d 612;  LaBarba v. Morrell & Co., Wine Emporium 272 A.D.2d 165, 710 N.Y.S.2d 24;  Panda Capital Corp. v. Kopo Intl., 242 A.D.2d 690, 662 N.Y.S.2d 584).

 Furthermore, the denial of summary judgment on the plaintiff's second cause of action based on an account stated also was proper since, after the plaintiff made out a prima facie case for judgment as a matter of law, the defendant came forward with sufficiently specific allegations regarding its prompt oral objections to the account rendered (see 1000 N. of N.Y. Co. v. Great Neck Med. Assoc., 7 A.D.3d 592, 593, 775 N.Y.S.2d 884;  Hornell Brewing Co. v. High Grade Beverage, 276 A.D.2d 593, 594, 714 N.Y.S.2d 901;  Sandvoss v. Dunkelberger, 112 A.D.2d 278, 279, 491 N.Y.S.2d 724;  Prudential Bldg. Maintenance Corp. v. Siedman Assoc., 86 A.D.2d 519, 445 N.Y.S.2d 758).
