DECISION & ORDER
In a consolidated action, inter alia, to recover damages for breach of contract, the plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme County, Queens County (Strauss, J.), entered July 20, 2012, which, inter alia, granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the plaintiffs' contention, the defendants established, prima facie, that the parties entered into a binding and enforceable contract that provided for a one-year limitations period for the commencement of actions alleging a breach of the contract. In opposition to that showing, the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the contract was not binding or enforceable (see CPLR 201; John J. Kassner & Co. v City of New York, 46 NY2d 544, 551; Hunt v Raymour & Flanigan, 105 AD3d 1005; Dimmick v New York Prop. Ins. Underwriting Assn., 57 AD3d 602, 603; Jamaica Hosp. Med. Ctr. v Carrier Corp., 5 AD3d 442, 443). Since the instant action was not commenced within that one-year limitations period, the action was time-barred.
The plaintiffs' remaining contentions are without merit.
Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly, inter alia, granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
MASTRO, J.P., ROMAN, SGROI and MALTESE, JJ., concur.
