Commissioners of the State Insurance Fund v. Wojciech Perkowski, Inc.

—Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Martin Schoenfeld, J.), entered October 24, 2001, which denied defendant-appellant’s motion to dismiss plaintiffs fourth cause of action pursuant to CPLR 3016 (b); 3211 (a) (7) and 3212, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Based on the allegations in the complaint, which must be taken as true on a motion to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action (see, Cron v Hargro Fabrics, 91 NY2d 362 , 366), and the affidavits properly submitted by plaintiff in opposition to the motion to dismiss (see, Mulder v Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, 208 AD2d 301 , 307), plaintiffs fourth cause of action sufficiently states the elements of the claim and clearly informs defendant-appellant of the circumstances constituting the alleged fraud (see, Lanzi v Brooks, 43 NY2d 778 , 780). The evidentiary matter submitted by plaintiff was also sufficient to raise triable issues of fact precluding a grant of summary judgment to defendant-appellant.
