APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, FIRST DEPARTMENT

PRESENT: DAVIS, J.P., SCHOENFELD, HEITLER, JJ

570778/07.

Raymond Wright, Plaintiff-Appellant,

against

Sylvia Franklin, Defendant-Respondent. Raymond Wright, Plaintiff-Appellant, NY County Clerk's No. 570769/07 Calendar No. 07-474 Melvin Dennis, Defendant-Respondent.


In consolidated actions, plaintiff appeals from two judgments of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Arthur F. Engoron, J.), entered on or about November 22, 2006, after trial, in favor of defendants dismissing the actions.


Per Curiam.

Judgments (Arthur F. Engoron, J.), entered on or about November 22, 2006, affirmed, without costs.

Applying the narrow standard of review governing appeals in small claims actions (see CCA 1807), and giving due deference to the trial court's findings of fact and credibility (see Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125, 126 [2000], lv dismissed 95 NY2d 898 [2000]), we sustain the dismissal after trial of plaintiff's actions. The evidence, fairly interpreted, supports a finding that defendants did not authorized plaintiff to incur any expenses or perform any work on behalf of the Waterside Tenants Association.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
