Kuo Po Trading Co., Inc., Respondent, v Tsung Tsin Association, Inc., Appellant.
[709 NYS2d 89]

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Paula Omansky, J.), entered December 30, 1999, which, in a declaratory judgment action involving the amount of rent due under a commercial lease, granted plaintiff’s motion for a Yellowstone injunction, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
