CA 14-00636
PRESENT: SCUDDER, P.J., FAHEY, CARNI, LINDLEY, AND VALENTINO, JJ.


CATTARAUGUS COUNTY BANK, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,

                     V                               MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

COREY W. BROWN AND GREEN GABLE VILLAGE, LIMITED,
DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS.


GOODELL & RANKIN, JAMESTOWN (KIMBERLY M. THRUN OF COUNSEL), FOR
PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT.

R. MICHAEL GOLDMAN, JAMESTOWN, FOR DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS.


     Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Chautauqua County
(Deborah A. Chimes, J.), entered July 22, 2013. The order denied
plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is
unanimously reversed on the law without costs and the motion is
granted.

      Memorandum: Plaintiff appeals from an order that denied its
motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to CPLR
3213. We reverse. Plaintiff met its initial burden by submitting the
promissory note, the unconditional guarantee of defendant Green Gable
Village, Limited, and evidence of defendant Corey W. Brown’s default
on the note (see Counsel Fin. Servs., LLC v David McQuade Leibowitz,
P.C., 67 AD3d 1483, 1484; LaMar v Vasile [appeal No. 4], 49 AD3d 1218,
1219), and defendants failed to raise a triable issue of fact.
Defendants’ conclusory, unsubstantiated and irrelevant allegations
that the promissory note was to be paid in full by the purchaser of
the real property securing the note are insufficient to defeat the
motion (see generally Quadrant Mgt. Inc. v Hecker, 102 AD3d 410, 410-
411).
