137 A.D.3d 1095 26 N.Y.S.3d 886

Oliveto Holdings, Inc., Appellant, v Denis W. Light, PLLC, et al., Respondents.

[26 NYS3d 886]

In an action to recover damages for legal malpractice, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (O. Bellantoni, J.), dated March 13, 2014, which granted the defendants’ motion pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (5) to dismiss the complaint as time-barred.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendants demonstrated, prima facie, that the plaintiff’s legal malpractice cause of action accrued more than three years prior to the time this action was commenced. In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a question of fact (see CPLR 214 [6]; Benjamin v Allstate Ins. Co., 127 AD3d 1120 [2015]; Landow v Snow Becker Krauss, P.C., 111 AD3d 795 [2013]; Elstein v Phillips Lytle, LLP, 108 AD3d 1073 [2013]; DeStaso v Condon Resnick, LLP, 90 AD3d 809 [2011]; McCormick v Favreau, 82 AD3d 1537 [2011]). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendants’ motion pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (5) to dismiss the complaint on the ground that it was barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

Mastro, J.P., Dillon, Miller and Barros, JJ., concur.
