[*1]Malou Mananghaya, et al., Plaintiffs,
vBronx-Lebanon Hospital, et al., Defendants. 
Napoli Transportation, Inc., doing business as C & L Towing Services, Inc., Third-Party Plaintiff, 
Aggreko, LLC, Third-Party Defendant. 
The Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center, Second Third-Party Plaintiff-Respondent, 
Aggreko, LLC, Second Third-Party Defendant-Appellant.


O'Connor Reed LLP, Port Chester (Amy L. Fenno of counsel), for appellant.
Ahmuty, Demers & McManus, New York (Glenn A. Kaminska of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lucindo Suarez, J.), entered January 9, 2014, which denied second third-party defendant's (Aggreko) motion to dismiss the second third-party complaint, pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(1), (7), and (8), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court correctly determined that the documentary evidence tendered by Aggreko - rental agreement terms and conditions unsigned by third-party plaintiff (the hospital) — did not conclusively establish a defense to the second third-party complaint as a matter of law (see Goshen v Mutual Life Ins. Co. , 98 NY2d 314, 326 [2002]).
Nor does Aggreko and the hospital's course of conduct manifest that the hospital accepted the rental agreement terms and conditions (see Brown Bros. Elec. Contrs. v Beam [*2]Constr. Corp. , 41 NY2d 397, 399-400 [1977]).
We have considered Aggreko's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
