NO. 2003-779 S C

AMERICAN BARTER EXCHANGE, INC., Respondent,

against

JOEL J. RATZKER, Appellant.


Appeal by defendant from an order of the District Court, Suffolk County


(P. Barton, J.), entered on April 10, 2003, denying his motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Order unanimously affirmed without costs.

In this action for breach of a barter or exchange agreement, defendant moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the action is barred by the six year statute of limitations. In opposition to the motion, plaintiff raised a triable issue of fact with respect to when the claim accrued. The transaction history report
indicates that there were transactions between the parties in February 1997 to September 1999 as well as prior transactions. Accordingly, the lower court properly denied defendant's motion for summary judgment. [*2]
